Carver Arena
· The Trenton Titans could not solve Alfie Michaud, as his 42-save performance led the Peoria Rivermen to a 2-0 shutout victory. After allowing the Rivermen to dominate the first five minutes of play, the Titans spent the majority of the next thirty-five in Peoria's zone. With the help of three power plays in the second period, the Titans outshot the Rivermen 16-2 in the middle frame, setting a season-low for shots allowed in a period. Trenton could not break through Michaud and it was Kris Kasper who broke the scoreless tie 5:10 in the third period, when he roofed a wrist shot over Andrew Allen for his fourth goal of the season. Brian McCullough added an insurance marker fifty-eight seconds later with his fourteenth goal of the year. Allen turned away 25 of 27 shots as his record falls to 10-5-1. The Titans power play was 0-for-6, while the penalty kill was a perfect 3-for-3.

Carver Arena
· Friday night, the Trenton Titans could not get the puck past Peoria goalie Alfie Michaud. Tonight the Titans could not stem the Rivermen's offense in a 6-2 loss. Brian McCullough helped his team stake a 2-0 lead in the first period as he beat Andrew Allen through the five-hole with a snap shot at 8:41. The fifth-year pro then converted on the power play with just fifty-eight seconds remaining in the opening stanza. Justin Meiser also added two goals of help keep the Titans at bay. The rookie left wing knocked a cross-ice from Rejean Stringer into the open for a power play goal that made the score 4-0 at 14:06 in the second period. After Mathieu Brunelle broke the ice for Trenton late in the second period, Maiser put the Rivermen back up by four with ninth tally of the season 1:35 into the final period. Perfect in their last three games, the Titans penalty kill went 3-for-5 on the evening. Trenton's power play remained scoreless on the weekend, going 0-for-3. Andrew Allen stopped 29 of 35 shots as his record goes to 10-6-1. Michaud turned away 22 shots for the Rivermen.
