Danville, IL - The Port Huron Prowlers went to battle with the Danville Dashers at the David S. Palmer Arena last night. Danville came into the contest sporting a Federal Hockey League leading 12-4-2 record, and the Prowlers, in second place, at 11-4-2. Danville would be lead by the four goal, and one assist performance of Brent Clarke, and the three assist (all of those coming on Clarke goals) performance of Lester Brown.
Port Huron would start the scoring in the first period with a Justin Alonzo with less than five minutes remaining in the first. Heading into the first intermission up by a goal, the Prowlers came back to the ice and continued scoring with a goal by Ahmed Mahfouz half way through the second period.
With the Prowlers up 2-0 in the middle of the second the Dasher would start a three goal spurt in less than two and a half minutes put the Dashers the lead, which they would never give up. Two of those goals came from Clarke, with the other coming from Myles McCauley. Danville would take that 3-2 lead into the locker room after the second period.
Clarke got things started for Danville in the third period, just a minute and 27 second into it, giving him the hat trick in front of a crowd of almost 1,000. Justin Brausen extended that lead 23 seconds later, making the game 5-2 Danville. Justin Alonzo would make it 5-3 for the Prowlers midway through the third, giving him his second goal of the night. Clarke would counter with his fourth goal of the night, making it 6-3 Danville. Alonzo would cap off his own hat trick late in the game, but that would be the closest Port Huron got, giving the Dashers the 6-4 win.
Matt Anthoney stopped 36-of-40 shots as Danville won at home. His counterpart Andy DiCristofaro finished with 34 saves as his personal six-game unbeaten streak came to an end.
