MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – Corey Perry scored two goals and assisted on another and Dieter Kochan stopped 23 shots to lead the Portland Pirates to a 5-2 victory over the Manchester Monarchs Wednesday night.

With the game tied at 2-2, Pierre Parenteau scored five minutes into the third period, pouncing on a puck Adam Hauser was unable to control to give Portland a 3-2 lead. Aaron Rome then added a power-play goal and Perry scored an empty-net goal to cap the Portland scoring. Hauser stopped 24 shots in net for Manchester.

Perry’s snap shot over the shoulder of Hauser was the lone tally of the second period, tying the game 2-2 for Portland after 40 minutes of play.

Tim Brent scored for Portland one minute into the game for a quick 1-0 Pirate lead. The Monarchs answered quickly as Brad Smyth’s hard work forced Kochan and the puck past the goal line tying the game 1-1, 1:46 later. Then Mark Ardelans slap shot from the face-off circle gave Manchester a 2-1 lead after the first period.
