LAST WEEK'S RECORD: 2-0-0, 4 pts.
Friday, October 29th â The 2004-2005 home-opener was a success for the new Dayton Bombers who posted a 5-4 victory over the rival Wheeling Nailers in front of 5,118 at the Nutter Center Friday night. Last season, Dayton went 0-9-1 against Wheeling. Forward TYLER KOLARIK opened the scoring with his first professional goal at 15:07 of the first period, giving Dayton a 1-0 lead. Kolarik is a rookie from Harvard University. Ed McGrane tied the game, 1-1 at 10:50 of the second period, before SHAWN LIMPRIGHT gave Dayton a 2-1 lead with a shorthanded goal at 12:37. Kenny Corupe beat Bombers goaltender ANDREW PENNER at 15:41 of the second period, and the teams were tied 2-2 after 40 minutes. Dayton opened their first two goal lead of the night with third period goals from MICHAEL TESSIER :48 seconds into the period, and BEN KNOPP at 8:59 to make it 4-2. Goals :56 seconds apart from Ed McGrane and Mark Kosick tied the game, 4-4, with 6:15 remaining in regulation. The game-winner was scored by SCOTT CAMERON, who beat Nailers goaltender Joe Exter with a high-rising shot over the glove hand with 1:38 left, and the Bombers beat the Nailers, 5-4.
Saturday, October 30th - The new Dayton Bombers posted a 2-1 shootout victory over the host Peoria Rivermen in front of 5,453 at the Peoria Civic Center Saturday night. The Bombers have now won three straight since dropping their first two games of the regular season. BEN KNOPP opened the scoring with his team-leading third goal of the season at 8:01 of the first period.
