DANBURY, CT - The winning continues for the RiverDogs as the team comes from behind to tie and win in the shootout over the Danbury Trashers by the score of 5-4 in a shootout. Joey Bastien got three points on the night, which included a pair of goals, one of which became the game-tying goal that sent the game into the shootout. Dan Vandermeer collected three assists as well. The RiverDogs went up 3-2 at the end of the second period with goals coming from Bastien, Bobby Kukulka and Mike Oliveira. Danbury came back in the third with a pair to put the Trashers up 4-3 before Bastien's power play tally with 5 minutes left, sending the game into the shootout. Mike D'Alessandro blanked the Trashers on all four of their attempts while Evgeny Lazarev and Bobby Kukulka converted on their attempts, giving the RiverDogs their second straight win in as many games on their six game road swing.
