Danbury Trashers News Release


DANBURY, CT--Playing their fourth game in five nights, the Danbury Trashers waited until the very end before picking up their third straight win. After a subpar first two periods, the Trashers overcame a 1-0 Port Huron lead with two goals in the final five minutes of play to defeat the Flags 2-1 on Sunday night at the Danbury Ice Arena.

Port Huron scored their only goal on a penalty shot, as Blake Stewart was hooked by Drew Omicioli at the 15:30 mark of the first period. Stewart's goal was his second in as many nights as the shot rolled off of Jayme Platt's legpads and just beyond the goal line.

Following a scoreless second period, the Trashers fought hard in the third, first by killing off a full 2:00 5 on 3 Flags power play as Regan Kelly (Interference) and Carlyle Lewis (Roughing) both went to the box at the 1:28 mark. Platt made several outstanding saves which seemed to intensify the Trashers, who finally scored on the power play at the 15:11 mark of the third as Carlyle Lewis beat Scott Hay after a pass from Drew Omicioli.

Frantically trying to win the game in regulation, the Trashers crashed the net late, and Jeff Daw knocked in a rebound past Hay for his third goal of the season with just 10.7 seconds remaining to win the game. Regan Kelly and David Hymovitz assisted on the goals.

Platt stopped 25 of 26 shots for his first win as a Trasher, as Danbury improved their mark to 8-6-2 and their third straight win. Hay stopped 23 of 25 to suffer the loss. The Flags are now 7-8-2 this season.
