WORCESTER, MA – November 21, 2025 – The Maine Mariners, proud affiliates of the NHL's Boston Bruins and AHL's Providence Bruins, collected a point on Friday night with a 2-1 overtime loss on Friday night in Worcester. Defenseman Andrew Nielsen scored Maine's lone goal in the extra time defeat.
The Mariners played to a scoreless opening period for the fourth game in a row, and nearly a scoreless second as well. Worcester finally broke the tie with just 2:01 left when Ryan Miotto cashed in a power play goal, burying a rebound off the pad of Luke Cavallin. The Mariners were able to get a quick response, re-tying the game just 20 seconds later on Andrew Nielsen's one timer from the left point - his first goal as a Mariner, finally ending the shutout streak of Railers netminder Henrik Tikkanen.
Following a scoreless third period, the Mariners and Railers played their first overtime game of the season series, with Matt Demelis finding the game-winner at the 5:00 mark, wristing one past Cavallin's glove. The Railers had all four shots in the extra session, and won their fourth game in a row.
