PORTLAND — The Portland Pirates needed just 26 seconds to turn the game around, turning a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 American Hockey League victory Wednesday night over the Springfield Falcons at the Cumberland County Civic Center.

It was the sixth consecutive win for the Pirates, giving them their longest win streak since 2010.

The Pirates jumped on top in the first period as David Rundblad sent Andy Miele on a breakaway for a goal just 1:58 into the game.

The lead was short-lived as Springfield’s David Savard sent home a shot from the bottom of the faceoff circles that beat Pirates’ goaltender Mark Visentin 7:26 into the first. Ryan Johansen streaked down the wing and slipped a shot under the pads of Visentin, giving Springfield a 2-1 lead at 12:31 of the first period.

Portland, which failed to score on four power plays, evened the contest with 5:31 remaining in the third period when Oliver Ekman-Larsson blasted the puck past Springfield goaltender Allen York, and 26 seconds later Brett Hextall put the Pirates ahead to stay when he converted a pass from Miele.

The Pirates are now 16-10-1-1, while the Falcons fell to 15-6-2-3.

Visentin stopped 20 of 22 shots, while York made 29 saves.

The Pirates return to action on Saturday at Manchester, N.H. against the Monarchs.
