Tuesday Thriller: Philadelphia Defeats Maryland in Shutout Fashion

Philadelphia 2 @ Maryland 0 - The Philadelphia Rebels marched into the Piney Orchard Ice Arena for a weekday matinee matchup against East Division foe Maryland Brown Bears. The play in goal was spectacular on both sides of the ice, with Jeremy Lowe and Cole Werthman combined for 61 saves. The first period was clean and free flowing, until a power-play goal from Emmet McClane broke the metaphorical ice and gave the Rebels a decisive one-goal advantage. The scoreboard stayed that way over the next 40 minutes of action, as both netminders were able to quell terrific scoring opportunities against them. In the dwindling minute of the game, the Black Bears pulled their netminder for an extra skater, and Philadelphia’s Cam Wilson worked the puck into the empty net for the game’s only other tally. Lowe’s performance in the cage is also worth mentioning, seeing that his 45 save shutout was a big part of the Philadelphia victory.
