Shorthanded Titans Take Two out of Three
December 19, 2005 - ECHL (ECHL)
Trenton Devils News Release
TRENTON, NJ - The Trenton Titans took two out of three this week to keep pace in the North Division and remain in third place at 13-10-2.
Finishing up a stretch of three consecutive games on the road, the Titans were shutout 1-0 by the Johnstown Chiefs on Wednesday. Jonathan Boutin stopped all 37 shots he faced and Justin Kelly provided the lone goal of the contest for either team.
Friday's return home produced a goaltending battle against the Dayton Bombers. Both teams combined for 69 shots, but Chris Thompson's shorthanded goal and Chris Pittman's power play goal provided all the scoring Trenton would need for a 2-1 triumph.
It was the Scott Bertoli show on Saturday against Bombers. The seven-year vet recorded a three-point game (1g, 2a) and notched his 400 ECHL point, but, most importantly, tallied the game-tying goal with just 47.2 seconds left in regulation. In the shootout, Dustin Traylen made an ECHL season-high seven saves to lead his team to a 4-3 win.
The Titans take the ice just once this week then they do battle with the Wheeling Nailers on Wednesday, December 21.
