Nathan Gillies and George Pujacs scored shootout goals past Trashers netminder Scott Stirling as Elmira came from behind to defeat Danbury 3-2 in a shootout on Friday night at the Danbury Ice Arena.

The Trashers jumped out to a 1st period lead on Semir Ben-Amor's 2nd of the season from Bruce Richardson at the 0:49 second mark of the period, in the only goal of the first period.

Elmira's Eddy Lowe tied the game at 1-1 in the 2nd on a goal at the 3:37 mark from Gillies and Pujacs. The tie was short-lived as Blake Bellefeuille tied it at the 5:25 mark from Jeff State after State had jumped out of the penalty box following a holding call at the 3:15 mark of the period.

Gillies then scored his 2nd of the season from Greg Koehler and Pujacs at the 1:25 mark of the 3rd period, which forced the shootout.

Richardson scored on the Trashers' first try in the shootout after Stirling stopped the dangerous Koehler, who leads the UHL in scoring.
