Danbury Trashers News Release


Samir Ben-Amor's two-goal evening lifted Danbury over Flint as the Trashers extended their unbeaten streak to 5-0-1 over their last six games with a 2-1 win over the Flint Generals before a crowd of 2,329 at the Danbury Ice Arena on Saturday night.

A quiet game on the score and penalty sheet, Danbury opened the scoring in the first period with Ben-Amor's third goal of the season from Brian Herbert and Alex Goupil at 16:45 for the only goal of the first period.

Generals' rookie Mike Kinnie tied the game with a power play goal at 18:04 in the second frame from John DiPace and Bobby Reynolds. Flint earned a power play when Ben-Amor took an obstruction-hooking call at 13:16. While on the penalty kill, Danbury's Bruce Richardson received a boarding major and game misconduct for a hit on Rob Valicevic at 13:47. The Trashers successfully killed off the two-man advantage, but surrendered the tying goal with just 0:43 seconds remaining in Flint's power play.

The game-winning goal came as 6:48 of the final frame as Ben-Amor notched his second of the game, with assists from Doug Christiansen and J.F. David.

Guillaume Lavallee stopped 23-of-24 shots on net in the victory for Danbury, who improved to 12-6-1 to maintain first place in the Eastern Division. Marco Emond turned aside 22-of-24 for the Generals while Danbury's Lavallee stopped 22-of-23. The Kinnie tally for Flint was the only special teams goal of the night (Flint 1/3, Danbury 0/1).

Danbury concludes their week with another game against Flint from the Danbury Ice Arena starting at 5:30pm. Tickets are available at DanburyTrashers.com, by calling 866-565-PUCK or in person at the Danbury Ice Arena.
