...lamp more than it had in its previous five games (17 total goals). Known mainly for his defensive ability and his quick wheels, Mandes assisted on a shorthanded goal and then scored a 4-on-4 strike against the Saints. And in the fourth-seeded Crimson’s romp over the top-seeded Big Green, Mandes netted a shorthanded attempt of his own, another 4-on-4, and added two assists. Donato called Mandes “one of our key guys—he kills penalties and a lot of times gets matched against a team?...
