PORTLAND — The Portland Pirates (12-9-0-0) rose to second place in the Atlantic Division Tuesday night with a 4-2 American Hockey League win over the Worcester Sharks at the Cross Insurance Arena.

It was the fourth straight win for the Pirates.

Andrew Campbell, Eric Selleck and Jordan Martinook had two points each for the Pirates. Campbell had a goal and an assist, while Selleck and Martinook each had two assists. Martinook has six points in his last four games.

The first period was uneventful with the lone penalty coming at 13:47 against the Pirates’ Darian Dziurzynski for boarding.

Campbell found the back of the net at 9:43 in the second period, assisted by Martinook and Dziurzynski to give Portland the first goal of the game. That goal was followed up with another Pirates tally, this time from Alex Bolduc, with Selleck and Martinook picking up assists at 12:40 in the second frame.

The Sharks answered 30 seconds later at 13:10 with a goal from Daniil Tarasov, assisted by Matt Taormina and Chris Tierney.

Worcester tied the game at 2:54 in the third when Michael Haley scored, assisted by Freddie Hamilton and Eriah Hayes.

But, with time winding off the clock, Justin Hodgman scored the go-ahead goal at 16:33 for Portland, assisted by Lucas Lessio and Campbell. The Pirates locked down the win with an empty-netter with 50 seconds left on the clock, scored by Tyler Gaudet, assisted by Francis Wathier and Selleck.

Pirates goalie Mike McKenna (7-7-0) had a mammoth night in net, stopping 43 of 45 shots he faced. It was McKenna’s fourth straight win. J.P. Anderson (2-6-0) blocked 15 of the 18 shots for the Sharks.

Portland returns to action on Friday at home against the first place Manchester Monarchs at 7 p.m., followed by a game’s at Albany on Saturday and Providence on Sunday.
