DANBURY, CT -- A third period comeback again fell short for the Danbury Titans as they lost their second in a row to the Dayton Demolition by a score of 4-3. Aaron Atwell, in his first game back from a concussion, would put the Titans on the board first with his 4th goal of the season, assisted by Mike Henderson and Razmuz Waxin-Engback. The Demolition would respond 4 minutes later as Robert Vanwysberghe was able to put one past Danbury Nikita Ivandikov to tie things up. The Demolition would take a lead they would not relinquish later in the period courtesy of Brad Townsend's shot over the glove of Ivandikov. The Titans would outshoot the Demolition 12-7 in the period.

Between periods the Danbury medical staff would be ushered to the Dayton locker room to attend to an overheated Cory Giroux. He would refuse medical attention and eventually returned to the game. Each team would get their first opportunities on the power play in the second period, but neither team could convert. The only goal of the period was from Dayton's Jacques Lamoureux, as he slid the puck between Ivandikov's legs as the Danbury goaltender attempted to cover both posts. Danbury would manage to kill off a 5-3 power play, but could not harness the momentum into anything offensively. Again the Titans would outshoot Dayton, but went into the second intermission trailing 3-1.

Martin Uhnak would score what proved to be the game winning goal less than 3 minutes into the period off a net mouth scramble. Danbury would mount a late comeback with goals from Mike Henderson and Tyler Gjurich, but it would prove to be too little, too late. For Gjurich, it was his league leading 48th goal of the season, and marked his 59th point in a scoring streak that has now lasted 25 straight games.

Coupled with a loss by the Danville Dashers, the Titans remain in first place with 105 points. The team has 4 games remaining in the regular season, and 5 points earned in any fashion will clinch first place and home ice advantage throughout the playoffs. The Danbury Titans will be in action again tomorrow night, hosting the rival Brewster Bulldogs for the last time this season. Tickets remain on sale based on availability.
