For the first time since November, the Maine Nordiques had a true road game.
The Nordiques defeated the Maryland Black Bears 3-2 in a shootout Thursday in a North American Hockey League East Division contest down in Edgewood, Maryland. It was the first time the Nordiques traveled for a game since going down to Attleboro, Massachusetts on Nov. 12 to take on the Northeast Generals. The Nordiques played the Generals in Lewiston at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in December and again earlier this month in games where the Nordiques were considered the visiting team.
The Ice World, where the game was played in Englewood, isn’t the Black Bears’ home arena. Matt Pinchevsky, Maine Nordiques associate head coach, said it was an event to just get ready for the games.
