Watch Highlights

The Sound Tigers carried the play for the first nine minutes of the first period scoring two goals but the Worcester Sharks would score four unanswered goals to earn the victory, 4-2. Jeremy Colliton and Trevor Smith had the goals for the Sound Tigers.

Colliton jumped on the bus this afternoon after returning from Long Island last night and put the Sound Tigers up 1-0 in the first period. A turnover behind the Sharks goal allowed Colliton to grab the puck and walk out from behind Worcester starting goalie Dimitri Patzold. Colliton had the patience to wait for Patzold to drop to his knees and fire a shot past Patzold's blocker for his eighth goal of the season, unassisted at 5:13. Smith would take the 2-0 lead for the Sound Tigers just over six minutes later. Jean Desrochers sent a cross-ice pass from the right corner to Drew Fata at the left point. Fata walked in and wired a slap-shot that Patzold stopped but Smith snapped the rebound past the Worcester net-minder for his 14th tally of the season.

The Sound Tigers seemed to have the momentum until the Sharks went on the power-play with just under five minute to play in the opening frame. Tom Walsh took a slap-shot from the left point that hit off the post and in while Sound Tigers' starter, Mike Morrison was screened. The goal was Walsh's fourth of the season and was assisted on by Tom Cavanagh and Mike Iggulden, cutting the Sound Tigers' lead in half, 2-1. Worcester would knot the score at two when Dennis Packard scored his ninth goal of the season on a scramble in front of Morrison with a minute and 48 seconds remaining in the first period. Brennan Evans and Derek Joslin had the assists on the goal.

Iggulden would give the Sharks their first lead of the game at 3-2, when he wristed his 23rd goal of the season over the shoulder of Morrison, 13 minutes into the second period. Lukas Kaspar and Cavanagh had the helpers on the goal. Worcester would score their fourth unanswered goal with 53 seconds remaining in the middle frame when Dan Spang sent a seeing-eye-shot on goal that went through Morrison for Worcester's second power-play goal of the night. Kaspar and Brad Staubitz had the assists on Spang's eighth marker of the season, making the score 4-2 going into the third period.

The Sound Tigers would fire 11 shots on Patzold in the third period but could not put one past him as the Sharks defeated the Sound Tigers 4-2. Patzold finished the game with 29 saves while Morrison had 20. The Sound Tigers were 0-for-3 on the power-play and 2-for-5 while out-shooting Worcester 31 to 24.

The Sound Tigers will stay the night in Worcester and practice tomorrow at the DCU Center before they take on the Sharks on Friday night at 7:05 p.m. for their lone game of the weekend.

3 Stars

1. Mike Iggulden - Scored the game-winning goal and had an assist
2. Dennis Packard - 1 goal and finished a +1
3. Dimitri Patzold - 29 saves to earn the victory
Honorable Mention: Jeremy Colliton - Comes back from a game with the Islanders last night and scores the game's first goal

Shipping Back: The Islanders sent back Jeremy Colliton, Matthew Spiller and Steve Regier to the Sound Tigers after last night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The hope is to help the push for the Sound Tigers to qualify for the Calder Cup Playoffs and make a long run. If the Sound Tigers can make it, expect Blake Comeau, Jeff Tambellini and Frans Nielsen to also join the team.

Back on the Bus: The Sound Tigers had a friendly face waiting for them as they climbed on the bus today. Their usual driver Johnnie Mirto was back behind the wheel after he was sick for a few weeks.

New Gear: Michael Mole joined the Sound Tigers playoff push tonight backing up Morrison and he was dawning some new equipment. Mole had on a new blocker and glove along with pads. Down the middle of all the equipment was an orange and blue lightning stripe.
