DANBURY, CT--David Hymovitz and Mike Omicioli each scored two goals apiece as the Danbury Trashers took a bite out of the Richmond RiverDogs with a 6-3 win before a sold out crowd of 3,005 on Wednesday night at the Danbury Ice Arena.

After Richmond's Joey Bastien scored at the 9:45 mark to give Richmond a 1-0 lead, Hymovitz tied the score with a power play goal at the 18:08 mark after R.C. Lyke was sent off for tripping.

Danbury scored quickly in the second as Regan Kelly netted his 3rd of the season at 4:33, followed by another Hymovitz goal at 5:44. Richmond closed the gap late in the period as Mike Olivera scored a fluke goal as he hit the puck off the back of Sly Daigle before it caromed into the net.

Ed Campbell then regained Danbury's two goal lead with his first Trashers goal at 0:37 of the third period. Mike Omicioli followed later in the period with a pair of goals before Bobby Kukulka scored a power play goal at 16:18 to close the scoring.

Danbury outshot Richmond 45-29 as Sly Daigle stopped 26 shots for his 12th win, while Mike D'Alessandro made 39 saves in a losing cause. The Trashers improved to 17-7-5 (39) to stay tied with Adirondack for first place in the UHL East.
