Demonz Win Tough Contest Against Dashers
The Dayton Demonz won their third straight over the Danville Dashers in nearly the exact same fashion as the previous two evenings. An empty net goal from Lucas Schott sealed the deal for the Demonz 6-4. The actual game winner was potted by Dayton's Luke Flicek with 8:04 to play going into the third period before Darick Ste Marie scored his second night to cut the lead back to one with 7:40 left. Marcus Pryde opened the scoring after banging home a slick pass from Ahmed Mahfouz just 2:06 into the first period. The Dashers roared back with unassisted shorthanded goals from Ryan Stern and Shawn McNulty to end the first period with a lead. The second period was dominated by Dayton on the scoreboard. Flicek and Nick Petriello both scored to give the Demonz a lead heading in to the third frame. Mahfouz extended the lead to 4-2 a little over five minutes into the third period after he was picked out in the slot by Marcus Pryde. Ste Marie scored to make it 4-3 after a blunder by Demonz goalie Jeff Rose allowed McNulty to send a pass through the crease, giving Ste Marie an open net to shoot on.
