WORCESTER, ME – March 20, 2026 – The Maine Mariners, proud affiliates of the NHL's Boston Bruins and AHL's Providence Bruins, collected their 13th win in the last 15 games with an offensive outburst in a 6-2 win over the Worcester Railers on Friday night at DCU Center. Brooklyn Kalmikov posted two goals and an assist to lead the Mariners.
It was a fairly uneventful opening period, until the Mariners struck twice in a span of 53 seconds. Defenseman Jaxon Bellamy found the net first, gloving a puck along the blue line and stepping into a wrister from the top of the left circle. Soon after, it was Robert Cronin making a pretty spin-o-rama pass from that same circle to Antonio Venuto on the back door to quickly double the lead.
Brooklyn Kalmikov helped the Mariners extend the lead with a pair of goals in the first seven minutes of the second period. He unleashed a wrister past Thomas Gale from the high slot at 1:26 of the middle frame to make it 3-0, before adding a power play goal at 6:33, on a quick feed from Max Andreev. The Mariners added a shorthanded goal in the final minute of the period when Zach Jordan raced down to the corner and watched his attempted pass deflect in off a Railers defender and past William Lavalliere, who had relieved Gale following the fourth Maine goal.
Worcester got a pair of goals in the third from Lincoln Hatten and Anthony Callin to close the gap back to three, but Max Andreev's goal at 9:40 restored the Mariners momentum. Luke Cavallin turned aside 24 of 26 to earn his 14th win of the season. The Mariners improved to 13-1-1 in their last 15 games.
The Mariners (34-16-6-2) are on home ice the rest of the weekend, hosting the Railers Saturday night at 6 PM for Pucks & Paws Night, presented by UNUM. Sunday afternoon is a 3 PM puck drop against the Reading Royals for "Women in Sports Night," which features a pregame Women in Business Panel, starting at 1:30 in the CN Brown Landing.
