Taylor Doherty and Adam Comrie each finished with a +4 rating and as Worcester recorded a four game win streak for the first time since the Sharks won five in a row on Dec 9-17th of 2011. The eight goals scored were the most ever scored by the Sharks at the DCU Center.
The Sharks dominated the opening period grabbing a 2-0 lead by outshooting the Pirates 16-5.

The Sharks would pour it on in the middle frame and would take a 5-0 lead. Matt Nieto (1st) struck at 1:15 followed by Daniil Tarasov (8th) at 3:10 to chase goaltender Mark Visentin as Worcester took a 4-0 advantage. Travis Oleksuk (2nd) welcomed netminder Mike Lee rudely by following up his initial shot and fired home a rebound in front at 5:25 as the Sharks grabbed a 5-0 lead. Harri Sateri stopped Brendan Shinnimin on a penalty shot bid at 11:08 but could not stop Gilbert Brule’s (7th) drive on the power play at the end of the period as the Sharks took a 5-1 lead into the 2nd intermission.
Matt Nieto (2nd) made it 6-1 at :49 seconds of the 3rd period with a 5-on-3 power play strike and Freddie Hamilton (6th) followed up with his 2nd of the game at 6:45 for a 7-1 Sharks lead.
