The Newfoundland Growlers moved into sole possession of first place in the North Division for now as they defeated Worcester Railers 7-5 Friday night at Mile One.
The Growlers did not play well in the first two periods. They were lucky it was scoreless after the first and the Railers grabbed a 3-1 lead after two. Worcester were up 5-3 with under eight minutes to play and looked to be in control. The Growlers, however seemed to come to life at that point and scored four unanswered goals in just about seven minutes of which two were short handed goals to pull out the win.
Joseph Duzak scored what proved to be the winning goal shorthanded at 14:17 of the third period and then Mac Hollwell added an empty net goal at 1940 to seal the win. Aaron Luchuk and Georgio Estephan had two goals each and Brady Ferguson a single for the Growlers.
