November 30, 2002 - ECHL (ECHL)
Dayton Bombers News Release


Andrew Allen made 18 saves as the Dayton Bombers Professional Hockey Team (8-12-2) blanked the Toledo Storm for the second time this season at the Ervin J. Nutter Center with a 3-0 triumph on Teddy Bear Toss Night.

After a scoreless first period, Fred Slukynsky got the Bombers on the board with his sixth goal of the season at 2:32 of the second when he cut to the Toledo net from the boards, pulled goaltender Doug Teskey out of position, and sent a backhander into the goal. Andrew Ianiero scored the first of two goals at 14:06. Ben Knopp worked along the end boards to free the puck for Matt Poapst, who found Ianiero with a centering pass. The Bombers forward pushed the puck past Teskey to make it 2-0. Ianiero's power play slap shot at 18:35 went through a screen and into the top left-hand corner of the net to cap the second period and game scoring.

The Bombers, who blanked Toledo 6-0 at the Nutter Center behind rookie Shane Bendera's 35 saves on October 27, this time helped Andrew Allen record a gooseegg. The Bombers were a perfect 7 for 7 on the penalty kill. Toledo, the first-place overall team in the ECHL entering the game, was handed its second straight shutout loss and for the first time this season lost back-to-back games.

The Bombers next hit the road for a season-long, six-game trip that will begin with a pair of games Wednesday and Friday at Atlantic City against the Boardwalk Bullies (both at 7:05 p.m./6:50 p.m. broadcast time on www.daytonbombers.com in association with www.sportsjuice.com).
