(Trenton, NJ) The Toledo Storm (10-6-0) used a 4-goal outburst and a stellar performance from goaltender Stefan Liv to down the Trenton Titans (9-5-1) 4-1 tonight in Trenton. Tonight's box score is available through this link Toledo vs. Trenton .

For a second consecutive night the Toledo Storm power play turned the light on early, as Ken Magowan finished off a 5 on 3-man advantage with his 5th goal of the season. Chris Blight started the play with a pass to Jeff Attard in the low rim of the left circle, which in turn fed the puck across the goalmouth to Magowan. Unlike last night, Toledo was able to carry the lead through the first period 1-0.

In the second period, Toledo accomplished exactly what it did a night ago as Mike Berry gave Toledo a 2-0 lead at 7:13 of the second period. Matt Zultek started the play with an intercept at center. Zultek fed Richard Colwill who carried the puck over the Trenton blue line. Colwill made a picture perfect pass to Berry, who beat Trenton netminder Joel Martin for his 4th goal of the year. Trenton closed the gap near the end of the second period as Mike Pandolfo scored on a breakaway for his 12th goal of the season. Pandolfo intercepted a Matt Zultek pass at the Trenton blue line and was off to races. He beat Storm goaltender Stefan Liv between the pads.

Mike Walsh gave Toledo some breathing room with his 3rd goal of the season at 8:29 of the third period. Walsh, who has scored goals in back to back games for the Storm, skated into the left circle and blew a shot between Joel Martin's pads to give the Storm a 3-1 lead. Mike Berry added an empty net goal with just a minute left to seal the win for the Storm.

Stefan Liv (1-1-0) made his second consecutive start for the Storm and made 36 saves to collect his first Toledo Storm win. Toledo is 8-2-0 when scoring the first goal of the season. Toledo was denied on its second penalty shot of the year at 3:32 of the second period. Mike Walsh had the chance and was stopped by Joel Martin. The Storm power play has scored a goal in three consecutive games.
