BROOKLYN, New York - The Brooklyn Aviators picked up their first win of the season over the New Jersey Outlaws 6-1 at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Federal Hockey League action on Friday night.

Lucas Schott and Chase Watson each had four points in the win, but it was Schott though turning in a hat trick for Brooklyn.

Brooklyn jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after the first period of play. Casey Mignone put the A's on top 1-0 4:14 into the opening frame, as his wrister beat Outlaws netminder Adam Dekker glove side. Schott would get his first of two at the 9:21 mark doubling Brooklyn's edge 2-0, while his second of the period came on a backhand that chased Dekker from the cage with 4:37 left in the first.

The power play fueled the second period offensively for the Aviators, as the club scored two goals on the man advantage to take a 5-0 lead over the Outlaws. Schott completed the hat trick after his third goal of the contest put Brooklyn up 4-0 just 2:24 in. Watson collected his first of the game, also on the power play, after his snap shot beat new Outlaws goalie Dan McWhinney at the 11:17 spot of the frame.

Brendan Baumgartner scored the sixth goal for the Aviators in the game 2:17 into the third period, but Outlaws forward Matt Puntureri spoiled Brooklyn netminder Jo St. Pierre's shutout bid on a short-handed tally with 1:30 left in the game.

St. Pierre picked up his sixth win of the year stopping 34 shots, while Dekker is charged with the loss after only making 10 saves.

The Aviators return to action tomorrow night when they take on the Cape Cod Bluefins for the final time at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 PM, and can be viewed live via the Bluefins broadcast network, powered by LiveSportsVideo.com.
