Nov. 4, 2019 – It was in the month of November of 2018 that the Mariners first hit their stride during their inaugural season. With a 7-2-0-1 record in the season’s second month of 2018-19, it was in that month that the team began to gel. After a 2-4-0-1 October to start their second season, the first game of November went into the win column this past Saturday night, and the home cooking continues over the next two weeks as they look to climb the North Division standings. Another one game weekend is ahead, with a fresh opponent on the other side of the ice.
The week that was
Saturday, Nov. 2nd – NFL: 2, MNE: 3
It was the third consecutive game for the Mariners against the Growlers, and for the third time, Newfoundland scored first. The game followed a similar pattern of Maine’s win the previous Friday, as the Mariners again rallied from a 2-0 deficit to get even. Taylor Cammarata netted the game winner with less than six minutes to go in the third, completing the comeback. Greg Chase was the #1 star in his return from injury and goaltender Tom McCollum was on top of his game after allowing the two in the first, making 36 saves to earn his 2nd win.
