Shots on Goal: Goalie Photography

Worcester Sharks vs Manchester Monarchs

On a night when the they were out shot almost 2 to 1 by the Sharks, the Monarchs came away with a convincing 6-3 victory, and remain on top of the Atlantic Division.

Manchester goalie Jonathan Bernier spent a busy night in net stopping 46 of 49 shots. Bernier picked up the win, and improves his record to 13-7-2. Manchester goals were scored by Marc-Andre Cliche (2), David Meckler (2), Bud Holloway and Dwight King.

I tried to get some different perspectives of Bernier during the game. There were some open seats opposite the zamboni area where I normally shoot from, so I figured I’d take advantage of this opportunity and do some shooting from the stands for a little while. The first picture is of Bernier making a left pad save early in the second period. The second picture is a different view of Bernier’s mask.

Alex Stalock stopped 20 of 25 shots on the night, the final goal being an empty netter at 16:56 of the third period. The loss for Stalock also snapped a personal best seven game win streak. He had not allowed more than two goals a game in his previous seven starts.

I was able to get a couple of shots of Alex Stalock from my usual spot in the zamboni area. In the first picture, I caught a nice skate save in the first period and the second shot is a rebound off his stick in the third period.

    I think that’s Jonathan Bernier but I’m not sure. Still the lion on his mask is very cool. I love masks that are really realistic looking. The lion looks great.

    You’re correct Ben, it is Jonathan Bernier. I got the shot during the pregame warm up from the area between the benches. His mask is one of my favorites that I’ve shot this season.
