Jamie Zaleski scored his fourth goal of the season, and fourth game in three games to give the Outlaws a 6-1 lead heading into the second intermission.
The second period saw three fights in the matter of a minute, as the frustration and the hard hitting style of play boiled over.
Looking for their first hat-trick of the season as a team, the Outlaws didn't have to wait long into the third period, as Smyth would notch his third goal, and fourth point of the night at the :36 mark of the period giving the Outlaws a 7-1 lead.
Moments later, Sich would beat the goaltender for his third goal of the night, and the Outlaws first shorthanded goal and point of the season. Chris Leveille got the first shorthanded assist on the play.
Chris Whitley was stellar between the pipes, turning away 41 of 43 Danville shots in the win.
The Outlaws were 4 for 5 on the penalty kill and were a perfect 4 for 4 on the power play against Danville.
