Danbury, Connecticut -- The Aviators took to the road Saturday night in search of their sixteenth win in a row as they took on the Whalers at the Danbury Ice Arena. After an intense matchup, the A's came out victorious with a final score of 5-1 in Federal Hockey League Action. The Aviators struck first with a powerplay goal from Michael Thomson at 7:47. A few minutes later, Chris Holmes added another to New York's total to give the A's a 2-0 lead heading into the second period. With his first goal in an Aviators' jersey, Brett Dickinson increased New York's lead to 3-0 at 2:26 in the second. However, Danbury finally got a shot past A's netminder Kevin Druce with a goal from Alex Kirschner to put the match at 3-1 at the end of the middle stanza. Kevin Druce remained solid in the third period, not allowing any shots to creap over the line.
