Glens Falls, NY – The Worcester Railers HC (8-9-2-2, 20pts) dropped a close 3-2 decision to the host Adirondack Thunder (13-9-1-1, 28pts) in front of an estimated 800 fans at the Cool Insuring Arena on Wednesday evening

Eamon McAdam made a season high 37 saves in net for Worcester while Kellen Jones and TJ Syner scored the Railers goals.  Terrence Wallin broke a 2-2 tie at 5:03 of the third period for the eventual game winner.

Eamon McAdam made 18 saves in the first period as neither team was able to find the back of the net in the opening frame. Goaltender Drew Fielding made nine saves for the Thunder in a quickly played first period of play.

After a scoreless first half of the second period, the teams each scored twice in a six-minute span.   Conor Riley (1st) gave the Thunder a 1-0 lead at 10:52 but the Railers would tie it at 12:10 as Kellen Jones (5th) followed home a Matty Gaudreau shot that was originally stopped by goaltender Drew Fielding.  Adirondack went ahead 2-1 at 15:22 as Eric Neiley (8th) took a feed from behind the net and zipped it past Eamon McAdam from on top of the crease.  Worcester would tie the score again at 16:54 as TJ Syner (3rd) snapped a shot from the left circle with Jeff Kubiak in front providing a screen.  The score was tied 2-2 after 40 minutes with shots 36-24 in favor of Adirondack.

Terrence Wallin (7th) gave the Thunder the lead for good at 5:03 of the third period after he converted a 3-on-2 rush from 28 feet to give Adirondack the 3-2 advantage.  Worcester would fire seven shots on goal and had a power play midway through the third period but was unable to convert as the Railers fell 3-2 on the road.
