WORCESTER, Mass. (April 2, 2013) – Sound Tigers forward and New York Islanders 2011 first-round pick Ryan Strome recorded a goal and an assist in his professional debut, and Joey Diamond’s first pro goal turned out to be the game-winner as Bridgeport scored four unanswered goals to come back and defeat the Worcester Sharks 4-2 at DCU Center on Tuesday night. With the win the Sound Tigers improve to 28-28-6-5 overall. The Sharks fall to 29-29-2-6.

The Sharks took a 1-0 lead just 1:26 into the game, when Daniil Tarasov snuck behind the Sound Tigers defense and backhanded the puck through Rick DiPietro’s five-hole for his 10th goal of the season to give Worcester the early advantage. Freddie Hamilton increased the Sharks lead 6:59 into the first period, after he got loose in front of DiPietro and fired over his left shoulder to give Worcester a 2-0 lead.

Strome began the Sound Tigers comeback with his first pro goal at 17:59 of the first period. Brock Nelson won a faceoff in the right circle of the Worcester zone to Strome, who fired a shot over the left shoulder of Sharks goaltender Alex Stalock to cut the Bridgeport deficit in half leading to the second period.
