Mired in a three game losing streak, the Adirondack Thunder looked to get off to a good start in December with a pair of home games against two division rivals.
It may have taken overtime, losing three regulars to the AHL, and luring an old friend out of retirement for a day, but the resilient Thunder got the job done.
12/1: Adirondack 2, Worcester 1 (OT)
The week began with the first ever match-up between the Thunder and the expansion Worcester Railers, the affiliate of the New York Islanders. There was a personnel switch on Adirondack’s blue line: Mathieu Brodeur was signed to a PTO by Syracuse earlier on Friday while rookie Matthew Spencer returned for his second Thunder stint.
