1995 at Fredericton 3-2 win
The Worcester IceCats held a 3-0 late in the contest and then had to kill off a major penalty and managed to survive with a 3-2 win over the Canadiens. Jim Nesich scored at 1:22 of the opening period with assists going to Jarrett Deuling and Roy Mitchell. Jason Widmer made it 2-0 at 11:13 with Sean Whyte providing the helper.

Fortunately for the ‘Cats the rebound hit Canadiens defenseman David Wilkie as he raced back to catch Deuling, and the puck bounced into the yawning net at 5:42. That proved to be a big goal as Nesich was called for a spearing major, and Jim Campbell made it 3-1 with a power play goal. Still on the power play and with Brochu pulled for a six on four advantage Wilkie scored to make it 3-2 at 19:54, but that was all the scoring in the game. Wayne Cowley had 41 saves in the contest.

2002 at Springfield 4-1 win
(SPRINGFIELD) The best one-two punch in the AHL delivered a knockout blow for the IceCats last night in a 4-1 victory over the Springfield Falcons. Justin Papineau and Eric Boguniecki each scored a goal to remain tied atop the AHL goal-scorer leaderboard with 34 each. Boguniecki also notched a pair of assists to increase his AHL-leading points mark to 72. Reinhard Divis stopped 33 shots to record the victory. Divis’s play was solid throughout the night, but he sparkled brightest during a key Springfield four-on-three in the middle of the third, making at least three spectacular saves. Divis has now notched three wins in three games since returning from playing for Austria in the Olympics. The game was played before an announced crowd of 6,105, many of whom must have had an early bedtime, for many fewer remained at the game’s conclusion. The IceCats have owned the season series with the Falcons, going 5-1 over the teams’ six contests. The lone loss was back on Jan. 6, when Patrick DesRochers shut out the ‘Cats, 3-0, but they seem to have figured him out since then. Daniel Tkaczuk opened the scoring with a power-play goal just 2:28 into the game. Jeff Panzer fed Tkaczuk in front of the net, and he stuffed it past DesRochers. Boguniecki also assisted on the goal. Jean-Guy Trudel evened up the score for the Falcons with a power-play goal of his own at the 6:20 mark. It took only a minute, 26 seconds for Worcester to reclaim the lead for good, when Boguniecki fed Papineau across the crease and he slammed it home. The goal gave Papineau an AHL-leading 34th goal, a perch he owned alone for less than 18 minutes of game time. Boguniecki joined Papineau with 34 goals, at 5:15 of the second period. Trevor Baker fed a streaking Boguniecki, who found a seam behind the defense. Mark Rycroft accounted for the final tally, with a slapshot blast at 18:30 of the third. Tkaczuk and Dale Clarke assisted on the goal. Papineau had no chance to better his goals total, however, leaving the game late in the first after taking a hard hit. In addition to Papineau’s condition, Tyler Rennette saw no action in the game due to illness. He warmed up with the team, but did not feel in game shape.
2005 vs Manchester 2-1 win
(MONARCHS) Two goal scored less than 60 seconds apart in the third period gave the Worcester IceCats a 2-1 win over the Manchester Monarchs before 5,610 fans at the DCU Center on Wednesday night. The teams skated through an opening period that included few good scoring chances. The Monarchs best shot at a goal in the period came when left wing Dustin Brown nearly beat goaltender Jason Bacashihua 2:38 into the contest. Brown took a feed from right wing Darren Van Oene in the left circle of the Worcester zone and skated hard to toward the net, but Bacashihua’s shoulder got in the way of his close range wrist shot. The Monarchs took the lead 8:04 into the second period with the 18th goal of the season for left wing Noah Clarke, who scooped up a loose puck at the bottom of the right circle and stuffed it into the Worcester net. Clarke took advantage of a fortunate bounce after a slap shot from center Michael Cammalleri caromed off an IceCats player and deflected right to him. Defenseman Denis Grebeshkov, back from an injury that sidelined him for two games, had the second assist on the play. The IceCats need only 56 seconds of clock time in the third period to erase the deficit and take the lead. Rookie defenseman Dennis Wideman finished an odd-man rush with his ninth goal, scored from the high slot with assists to center Troy Riddle and left wing Erkki Rajamaki at 3:14, and right wing Jon DiSalvatore backhanded his own rebound over Monarchs goaltender Mathieu Garon (26 shots, 24 saves) and into the Manchester net at 4:10. Center Peter Sejna had the only assist on DiSalvatore’s 16th goal of the season. Garon took the loss. His record dropped to 23-10-3. Bacashihua (15-9-0) earned the win, his 15th of the season. The Monarchs were 0-for-3 on the power play. The IceCats were 0-for-2.
2007 vs Portland 5-3 loss

2008 vs Portland 6-1 loss

After that, Portland scored early and often to pick up the convincing victory. Bobby Ryan and Jason King led the offensive barrage with three points each on a goal and two assists. Petteri Wirtanen (1g, 1a), Drew Miller (1g, 1a), and Brian Salcido (0g, 2a) each finished with two points.

It didn’t take long for the Pirates to get on the board. On a three-on-two up ice, Wirtanen made a backhand flip in the direction of Patzold. Miller made a tip that Patzold saved, but the rebound bounced right to Ryan who found the open net at 1:24 of the first period. For Ryan, it was his 19th goal of the season, six of which have come at Worcester’s expense. Less than four minutes later at 4:54, a Graham Mink turnover led to Portland’s second goal. After Mink’s clearing attempt was picked off, Darryl Bootland was in the right faceoff circle and made a feed to Miller in front of the crease. Miller subsequently beat Patzold high to make it 2-0. Salcido had the other assist on the play. On Worcester’s first power play, Devin Setoguchi took a nifty pass from Derek Joslin.

Along with King, Ryan picked up the other assist on the play. After one, shots were 10-7 in favor of Portland. Things continued to go downhill for the Sharks as 3:32 into the second period, Portland added to its lead. Patzold was shaken up when he came out to play a puck and was accidentally run into by a Pirates player. Off the ensuing faceoff, Eric Weinrich unleashed a slap shot just inside the blue line on the left wing side. It found its way through traffic and through Patzold’s pads to make it 4-0. King and Ryan tallied the assists on the play. Patzold was pulled in favor of Dakers after the goal. A Craig Valette penalty led to a 5-0 Portland advantage as it tallied its second power play goal of the game on another shot from the point. Bruno St. Jacques let go a shot from inside the blue line on the right wing side. It found its way through, hit the inside of the left post and went in at 4:35. Michal Birner and Joe Callahan had the assists. The Pirates kept pouring it on at 17:42 when King scored his 23rd of the season. A pass got through Sharks’ defender Dan Spang to King at the doorstep. His first shot was stopped, but the rebound bounced right back to him and he stuffed the puck around Dakers and inside the left post for the six-goal lead. Geoff Platt and Salcido had the helpers on the play. Shots were 15-14 in favor of the Pirates in the second period, while they held the 25-21 lead after two. Worcester finally got on the board at 5:37 of the third period when Tom Cavanagh scored his 12th goal of the season. Brennan Evans brought the puck down the left wing side when he passed to Cavanagh in between the faceoff circles. Cavanagh, facing the opposite direction of McKenna, put a blind backhand shot on goal which slipped just inside the right post. Setoguchi picked up the other assist on the play.
