Tonight's Takeaways: Hat Tricks Come up Short to End Road Trip
October 27, 2024 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Danbury Jr. Hat Tricks News Release
The Hat Tricks found themselves in a similar situation tonight. Danbury was swept by Rochester in their second series against each other this season. A few positives came from Danbury's goals, yet it was ultimately a rough way to end the month of October.
Diagostino Shines In NAHL Debut
Hat Tricks forward CJ Diagostino was called up from the Danbury Jr. Hat Tricks 18U AAA team ahead of this weekend and CJ performed well in his NAHL debut. The 18-year-old forward scored the first goal for Danbury tonight, putting them within one. In his final stat line, he had two shots on goal with a +/- of 1. CJ is close to starting his junior career, however this shows a flash of his potential in the near future.
Hat Tricks Excel On Penalty Kill
Although Danbury was inly put on the kill once tonight, they were able to ice the puck every time they got their stick on it. A huge improvement from last night when the went 3/6 on the kill. Main cause of this was having the ability to hold themselves together and keep themselves out of the box as much as possible.
Lineup Notes
Jr. Hat Tricks 18U AAA netminder John Reburn made 35 saves on 40 shots in his first NAHL start. Reburn was put into a lot of tough positions, yet he kept his composure for the full 60 minutes. Danbury also had some good looks from their forwards tonight, with Diagostino and Izadi capitalizing tonight.
