TRASHERS WEEK IN REVIEW

TRASHERS FALL 4-3 IN SHOOTOUT

January 22, 2006

DANBURY, CT--For the second straight night, the Adirondack Frostbite were able to overcome a 3rd period deficit to defeat the Danbury Trashers, as Danbury fell 4-3 in a shootout before 2,202 at the Danbury Ice Arena on Sunday night.

Sunday's game mirrored the contest on Saturday evening as the two teams traded goals through the first two periods, with the score tied at 2-2 following the first 40 minutes of play. Danbury had power play goals from Dave MacIsaac and David Hymovitz, while Adirondack had a power play goal from Kevin Watters and a shorthanded goal by Mark Hurtubise.

The Trashers took a 3rd period lead at the 12:29 mark on a shorthanded goal by Shawn Collymore, but Hugo Belanger barely beat Sly Daigle on a breakaway just 1:36 later as an errant pass ended up in the neutral zone to set up Belanger's scoring chance.

Scott Drevitch scored the game-winning goal in the 7th round of the shootout, which was 3-2 in favor of Adirondack.

TRASHERS GIVE UP 3RD PERIOD LEAD-LOSE 4-3 TO ADIRONDACK

January 21, 2006

GLENS FALLS, NY--Mike Berry and Scott Drevitch netted late 3rd period goals to overcome a 3-2 deficit as the Adirondack Frostbite topped the Danbury Trashers 4-3 on Saturday night at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

The two clubs traded goals over the first two periods, as Danbury's Drew Omicioli and Adirondack's Kevin Watters each had a pair of power play goals to keep the score at 2-2 by the end of the second.

Troy Smith scored his second of the season as he took a pass from Ryan Barnes and beat Derek Gustafson at 4:29 to give Danbury a 3-2 lead. However, Danbury turned over the puck behind the goal and it quickly translated into Mike Berry's 16th of the season at 11:53 to tie the game.

40-year-old defenseman Scott Drevitch then won the game with his 6th of the season at 15:07 as he took a sharp angle shot that just got by Sly Daigle to give Adirondack a 4-3 lead.

Daigle stopped 29 of 33 shots as Danbury's five game winning streak ended, while Gustafson saved 30 of 33 to give the Frostbite their first win of 2006. Adirondack is 1-3-2 in January. The win was also Adirondack's first over Danbury in seven meetings.

January 20, 2006

ELMIRA, NY--Without a win over Elmira in three prior meetings, the Danbury Trashers trailed the Jackals 2-0 heading into the final period. Less than a minute later Elmira's lead disappeared while Alex Goupil's goal with under four minutes sealed the win as the Trashers topped Elmira 3-2 on Friday night at First Arena.

Chris Chaput and Jarrett Konkle each scored power play goals to give Elmira a 2-0 lead heading into the final frame, despite being outshot 24-19.

Drew Omicioli scored just six seconds into the final period, followed by a Jeff Daw goal just 42 seconds later to tie the score. Goupil's goal came at the 16:06 mark as he fired a shot from the right wing circle that went under the legpads of Jackals' goaltender Nick Boucher.

Jayme Platt earned the win as he stopped 25 of 27 shots while Boucher saved 31 of 24 in a losing cause.
