Dayton Bombers News Release
Dayton, OH- The defending American Conference Champion Dayton Bombers ended their winless streak with an exciting 1-0 win over rival Trenton Devils in front of 7,621 fans for Military Appreciation Night at the Nutter Center on Saturday.
Getting back to North division business, both teams carried an upbeat flow to start the game. Despite several quality scoring chances in the first period, neither team found the back of the net, leaving it a scoreless contest at the break. Dayton led in Shots 10-4.
The second period began in much the same way as the first, until Bombers forward Ryan Smyth notched his 10th goal of the season. The goal, coming at the 8:54 mark, was assisted by Grant Goeckner-Zoeller and Gary Klapkowski, giving him his first point as a Dayton Bomber. Brit Dougherty spiced things up just four seconds later, when he dropped mitts with Trenton's Tom Harrison. Things really got interesting when Bombers defenseman Alex Greig came out of nowhere to tackle Harrison, resulting in a game misconduct penalty. Solid goaltending would continue in the second, as both net minders kept their teams intact for the remainder, giving Dayton the 1-0 lead after forty minutes. The Bombers edged Trenton in period shots10-9 for a two-period Dayton lead of 20-13
Both teams remained scoreless in the third, as the Bombers secured the 1-0 victory against the Devils. Final shots on goal favored Dayton 26-19.
The Bombers record now stands at 20-17-8, and they remain in sole possession of fourth place in the North Division. Dayton plays host to the Mississippi Sea Wolves on Sunday afternoon at 5pm at the Nutter Center. Tickets are available by calling 775-4747.
