GLENS FALLS, NY – The Adirondack Thunder picked up their second win of the season on Saturday when they defeated the Worcester Railers in front of a sold-out crowd of 4,823 at Cool Insuring Arena. Charlie Curti netted his first two professional goals and Kelly Summers potted the game-winner as the Thunder scored three unanswered goals to move to 2-1-0-1 on the season. Adirondack's victory caused Worcester to fall to 2-1-0-0 on the year. The Railers were the lone team to score on the powerplay as they went 1-for-2 on the man advantage while the Thunder went 0-for-4. Worcester netminder Evan Buitenhuis stopped 25 of the 28 shots that he saw while Thunder goaltender Eamon McAdam picked up his second win of the season and made 33 saves.Scoring Plays
