Bombers top Cyclones, 3-2
February 4, 2004 - ECHL (ECHL)
Dayton Bombers News Release
Janne Jokila and Nate Kiser scored first period goals as the Dayton Bombers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Cyclones at U.S. Bank Arena in downtown Cincinnati Wednesday night.
Jokila scored his tenth goal of the season at 3:30 of the first, rifling a screen shot past Cincinnati netminder Randy Petruk. At the 7:00 mark, ECHL All-Star defenseman Nate Kiser slapped a shot off Petruk and into the net after a face-off win in the Cincinnati zone.
After Cincinnati's Mark Concannon scored in the second period to pull his team to within one, the Bombers added a goal early in the third. Chad Theuer slipped past backchecker Concannon and sent a shot through Petruk's legs. Theuer' s tally, his eighth of the season, was assisted by Sean Connolly and goalie Andrew Penner.
Though the Cyclones made it 3-2 at 18:45 of the third on a score by Jason Maleyko, Penner, who made 35 saves (including 17 in the third period), withstood a late offensive thrust to preserve the win.
BOMBERS' BITES
Defenseman Jake Wiegand made a return to the lineup after a six-game absence due to a thumb injury.
The Bombers return home to host Wheeling on Friday for their 2nd Annual Mardi Gras Night at the Nutter Center (7:00 p.m.). The first 1000 fans will receive a set of beads. Fans can also take advantage with a McDonald's Big Mac Power Play Pack at this game (Two tickets, Two Bombers' hats, and Two Big Macs for just $25). In addition, the first 500 women will receive a box of chocolates, courtesy of Esther Price, as part of Ladies Night.
