January 7, 2006

FLINT, MI--It looked like the Trashers were going to run away and hide with an easy win on Saturday night in Flint, but Danbury was found in the second period. Despite a 3-0 lead by the 7:50 mark of the first period, the Flint Generals came from behind to force a shootout and defeat the Trashers 5-4 at Perani's Hockey World.

David Hymovitz, Regan Kelly and Mario Larocque beat Flint netminder Peter Brady by the 7:50 mark of the opening period when Bobby Reynolds replaced him with Jason Saal.

Leo Thomas scored at the 15:37 mark of the second period to make it 3-1 in favor of Danbury. Mike Kinnie would score a pair of goals sandwiched around Jason Selleke's game-tying goal in the third.

Dave MacIsaac scored his 6th of the season to re-tie the game at 4-4 at the 7:55 mark of the final period.

J.M. Daoust and Sergei Durdin scored in the shootout while Sean Starke, Terry Marchant and Matt Elich scored for Flint. Elich's shot was the game-winner in the 5th round.

TRASHERS GIVE UP TWO SHORTHANDED GOALS--FALL 4-2 TO MOTOR CITY

FRASER, MI--Former Trashers captain Brent Gretzky scored Motor City's first goal and added an assist as the Mechanics scored a pair of shorthanded goals in the second period to come from behind and defeat the Trashers 4-2 on Friday night at The Garage.

Gretzky scored just 1:07 into the opening period as he knocked in a rebound past Jayme Platt following a Kyle Kos shot. The Trashers tied it a few minutes later as Justin Laverdiere wristed one by Rod Branch at the 6:03 mark.

The Trashers scored in the second period as Dave MacIsaac's power play goal gave Danbury a 2-1 lead at the 8:15 mark. However, Scott Dobbin and Kris Vernarsky scored shorthanded goals 36 seconds apart to give the Mechanics a 3-2 lead. Matt Smith added a power play goal at 18:59 to give Motor City a 4-2 advantage.

The Trashers took a 1-0 lead in the first on a goal from Fred Belanger, who would add another late in the game. However, power play goals by Tyler Rennette and Greg Labenski would give the Wings a 2-1 lead after the first.
