Campagna scores with 2:05 left to give Admirals 3-2 win
BY: Michael Keeley, Maine Mariners
PORTLAND, ME – March 10, 2020 – J.C. Campagna’s breakaway goal at 17:55 of the third period broke a 2-2 tie and gave the Norfolk Admirals a 3-2 win over the Maine Mariners on Tuesday night at the Cross Insurance Arena. The Admirals took the season series from the Mariners, 3-1, handing Maine its fifth straight home loss.
After a scoreless first period, Norfolk’s Alex Rodriguez quickly got the scoring started in the 2nd when he capitalized on a turnover by Mariners defenseman Austin McEneny for a shorthanded goal just 17 seconds into the middle frame. At 3:02, the Mariners responded with a nifty wraparound goal by Conner Bleackley, assisted by linemates Dillan Fox and Michael McNicholas. Norfolk had the answer three minutes later, however, as Alex Tonge put one beyond the pad of Maine netminder Adam Huska from the right circle making it 2-1 Admirals. After a tripping penalty to Norfolk’s Andrew Durham, the Mariners converted on a power play at 15:19 to tie the game again. Scott Savage’s shot from the blue line was deflected by Brian Hart and after hitting the pad of Admiral goalie Jake Theut, caromed to Ted Hart in the slot, who broke a 16 game goalless drought to make it 2-2. The Mariners registered a season-high 21 shots on goal in the 2nd period.
It remained 2-2 until just over two minutes left in regulation when J.C. Campagna was able to split between McEneny and Jeff Taylor and deke Huska to give the Admirals their third lead of the game. The goal was reviewed and upheld and held up as the game-winner.
Norfolk snapped a seven-game losing streak with the win while the Mariners have now dropped four in a row and six of seven. Despite the loss, the Mariners magic number to clinch a playoff spot decreased, thanks to Worcester’s road win at Adirondack.
