Brooklyn Aviators News Release


DANBURY, Connecticut - The Brooklyn Aviators dropped a 5-2 decision to the Danbury Whalers on Wednesday night in Federal Hockey League action at the Danbury Ice Arena.

Nick Deschenes led the way offensively for Danbury with two goals and an assist in the victory for the Whalers. The loss also snapped the Aviators three-game winning streak.

Chris Campanale registered his first goal in an Aviator jersey after he buried a loose puck on the power play at the 9:50 mark of the first period. The initial shot came from the point, and the first rebound attempt from forward Matt Atsoff was stopped by Whalers netminder Peter Vetri. Campanale found the puck alone in the crease and slammed it home to give Brooklyn the 1-0 edge.

Danbury erupted with four unanswered goals in the second period with two coming off the stick of Deschenes. Sean O'Malley tied the game for the Whalers 4:23 into the middle frame off a pass from Andrew Willock back door. Danbury tallied two markers in the span of 42-seconds from Deschenes and Willock to take a 3-1 edge, which was then capped off by Deschenes' second of the period with just 32-seconds left in the period.

Campanale's second tally of the game 10:35 into the third cut the Whalers lead in half at 4-2, however just 19-seconds later Greg Holt gave Danbury its three-goal lead back after snapping the puck through the five-hole of A's goaltender Mike DiLorenzo.

Veri stopped 42 shots in the win for Danbury, while DiLorenzo made 21 saves in the losing effort for Brooklyn.

Brooklyn returns home on Friday night when they take on the Whalers at 7:35 p.m. at the Aviator Sports and Events. Catch all the action live via the Aviators broadcast network powered by LiveSportsVideo.com.
