December 8, 2007 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Mississippi RiverKings News Release
Aaron Davis scored three goals in one game for the first time as a professional as the Mississippi RiverKings defeated the Youngstown SteelHounds 5-1 tonight at the DeSoto Civic Center.
Davis had a career night as the RiverKings played their 1,000th Central Hockey League regular season game. The win snapped the RiverKings' four-game winless streak and brought them to within four points of the SteelHounds for first place in the Northeast Division.
Davis scored on the power play with 45 seconds remaining in the first period to give the RiverKings a 1-0 lead. Former RiverKing Jeff Alcombrack scored on the power play 2:34 into the second period to tie the game for the SteelHounds.
Then Davis brought the fans out of their seats at 8:35 of the second. He split the SteelHounds defense on the right side on his backhand and cut back to the left with his forehand. He went around both the poke check and the right pad of goalie Layne Sedevie and deposited the puck into the net.
Davis completed the hat trick with 1:03 to go in the second on a seeing-eye shot from the high slot that eluded Sedevie. The goal gave the RiverKings a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes of play.
Ryan Campbell and Ryan Kindret scored in the third period for the RiverKings, who went two for six on the power play. The SteelHounds went one for four.
Sebastien Centomo made 28 saves for the RiverKings. Sedevie made 25 stops for the SteelHounds.
The RiverKings host the Wichita Thunder on Tuesday night at 7:05. The pre-game show begins on Sports 56 WHBQ at 6:55.
