Final score Rats 3 Providence 2!

Period 1
Albany - Joe Hulbig (shorthanded) (Mike Matteucci) 9:27
Providence - Ivan Huml (powerplay) (Zdenek Kutlak, Matt Herr) 11:35
Albany - Aleksander Suglobov (powerplay) (Ilkka Pikkarainen, Alex Brooks) 16:15

Period 2
Albany - Jiri Bicek (Craig Darby, Steve Kariya) 6:06

Period 3
Providence - Carl Corazzini (Kris Vernarsky) 12:26

Rats almost gave up another game in the third, but managed to hold on to their lead. Foster played the whole game, and played pretty well. If the play-by-play guy is to be believed (he's usually pretty good), also good games by Pikkarainen and Suglobov. Better all around effort by the whole team.

Rats now have 3 shorthanded goals in 5 games.

Next game is tomorrow at home against the Springfield Falcons.

How fitting for Hulbig to start the scoring against his former team with a shorthander.

It is just a matter of time before Suglobov is called up. Probably after the first of the year, if not sooner!

Elias--Larionov/Rasmussen--Suglobov/Brylin/Berglund
Rupp/Brylin/Friesen--Gomez--Gionta/Suglobov
Friesen/Pandolfo/Brylin--Madden--Langenbrunner
Pandolfo/Brylin--Rasmussen/Rupp--Marshall/Stevenson
Lots of versatility up front! And on the backline, too!!



Rafalski--Stevens
Niedermayer--White
Martin/Hale<-->Albelin/Brown
Giroux, DeMarchi, Matteucci

Sounds like Suglobov is adjusting quickly to the AHL. There is no need to rush him though. Let him build up his confidence at the AHL level before giving him a look up with New Jersey....

He looked pretty good last night in Providence.

Saw some good things in him, looks like he might have a good future in this game.
