Titans Down Nailers in New Jersey
February 19, 2012 - ECHL (ECHL)
Wheeling Nailers News Release
TRENTON, NJ- The Wheeling Nailers have had their way at Sun National Bank Center for most of the season, after winning each of the first four games they played there. On Sunday afternoon, the homestanding Titans took a game back, as Matt Schepke's third period goal was Wheeling's lone tally in a 5-1 victory for Trenton.
After a scoreless first ten minutes of the contest, the Titans' offense came alive, scoring three goals in a span of 6:41 in the latter stages of the first period. Matt Germain opened the scoring at the 12:20 mark, taking a pass from Andy Bohmbach, and drilling a slap shot into the top part of the goal. A little less than four minutes later, Dustin Cameron capitalized on a Wheeling turnover, by proceeding to score with a shot from the left circle. The final goal in the frame went to Ryan Hayes, who cut to the middle and slipped a backhander into the cage, while Trenton was playing on the power play.
In the second period, the Nailers nearly got on the scoreboard, as Ben Farrer and Peter Lenes combined for a scoring chance in the offensive zone. Unfortunately, Brad Phillips made the save, and the Titans got a 4-on-2 rush the other way. Andy Bohmbach and Rob Bordson led the way, as Trenton ultimately found Tyler Hostetter, who scored with a wrist shot on the right side of the ice.
Wheeling found the back of the net in the third period, when at the 3:16 mark, Matt Schepke beat his defender, and lifted a shot over Brad Phillips' left shoulder. The Titans were able to regain their four-goal edge later in the game, when Ryan Hayes picked up his second goal of the contest, with both tallies coming on the man advantage.
Brad Phillips picked up the win for Trenton, making 15 saves on 16 shots. Patrick Killeen took the loss for Wheeling, stopping 15 of 20 shots.
The Nailers' next game takes place on Friday night at 7:00, when they travel to Huntington Center to face the Toledo Walleye.
