Trenton Devils News Release
TRENTON, NJ (December 30, 2004) â The Trenton Titans set a season high for goals scored and pulled themselves into a tie for first place in the North Division with a 6-1 drubbing of the Toledo Storm in front of 4,535 at the Sovereign Bank Arena
Steve Cygan had his first two-goal night of the season as the Titans did all their scoring during even strength. The third-year center also scored the eventual game-winner when he stole a pass from Toledo goaltender Logan Koopmans and put it between his pads at 15:20 of the opening period for what was a 2-0 Trenton lead.
Trenton was able to extend their lead to three when Conor Dunlop fired a shot past Koopmans 5:26 into the second frame. It was Dunlop's first goal of the season and first as a Titan.
Tyler Knight would help cut the Titans' cushion back down to two goals later in the period when he roofed a wrist shot over Chris Houle's glove.
The Titans continued to pour it on as Matt Libby registered his first goal of the season to put the Titans up 4-1 at 8:59 of the third period. Cygan converted a two-on-one with Mathieu Brunelle at 4:55 later for his second goal of the evening and a four-goal Titans edge.
Chris Houle made 21 saves on 22 shots to raise his record to 8-1-3. The second-year goaltender has not lost in regulation since November 27. Koopmans turned away 27 shots as he fell below .500 for the first time this season.
