Trashers top Muskegon 2-1 in UHL Colonial Cup Semifinal opener--lead series 1-0

Danbury Trashers News Release


MUSKEGON, MI--David Hymovitz's goal just 2:16 into the first period would be the only goal for either side until less than four minutes left in the game. What followed was an outstanding defensive battle that was led by Danbury netminder Sly Daigle as he stopped 44 shots as the Trashers held on to defeat Muskegon 2-1 in game one of the UHL Colonial Cup Semifinals at the L.C. Walker Arena on Friday night.

Unlike Danbury's series against Quad City, it was the Fury outshooting the Trashers all evening, and Daigle stopping everything in his path. The Trashers took a 1-0 lead into the final stanza and killed off three Mario Larocque penalties before earning the man advantage after Rustyn Dolyny held David-Alexandre Beauregard at the 14:46 mark. Mike Omicioli capitalized with a power play goal from Shawn Collymore and Sergei Durdin at the 15:22 mark, which gave the Trashers a 2-0 lead.

Jason Lawmaster knocked in a one-timer from Robin Bouchard at the 19:11 with an extra attacker to cut the Danbury lead to 2-1, but Daigle and the Trashers held on for the win, giving them a 1-0 series lead over the Fury.

Daigle stopped 44 of 45 shots, while Clayton Pool saved 18 of 20 in a steady outing for Muskegon.

Game two will take place on Saturday night at 7:30pm from the L.C. Walker Arena. The Trashers will host games 3-5 of the series, with game three on Wednesday May 10th starting at 7:00pm, Friday May 12th and Saturday May 13th at 7:30pm. Games six and seven are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday 15th and 16th in Muskegon if necessary.
