It took 21 combined games split between the Providence Bruins and Manitoba Moose, but erstwhile Alaska Aces sniper John Lammers finally racked his first American Hockey League goal of the season today.

Lammers' second-period goal stood up as the game winner for Providence in a 6-2 win over Worcester. Lammers went +1 with two shots on goal.

In 10 games with Providence, Lammers owns 1-3--4 and +3 totals. Earlier this season, he went without a point and was -7 in 11 games with Manitoba.

For the Aces, Lammers owns 20-15--35 and +7 totals in 25 games, and still leads the club in goals despite missing 23 of the team's games.

And speaking of Doyle, overall he is 13-4-2 with a goals-against average of 2.54 that ranks second in the league and a save percentage of .921 that ranks first. In 14 games with the Aces, he is 10-2-2, 2.23, .930.
