Danbury Trashers News Release


KALAMAZOO, MI--Nick Bootland netted a hat trick, while Joel Martin stopped 42 of 44 Danbury shots as the Trashers failed to defeat Kalamazoo in their final meeting of the regular season as the Wings topped the Trashers 5-2 on Friday night.

The Wings capitalized with a pair of first period power play goals from Bootland at 2:00 and Jason Deitch at 10:30 before David Hymovitz scored unassisted at 11:04 to cut the Wings lead to 2-1. Bootland then scored his second of the night as he stole the puck away from Jayme Platt in the Trashers zone to extend the Wings lead to 3-1 after the opening period.

Tim Turner scored his 8th of the season as he beat Platt at the 15:23 mark from Damian Surma, but J.M. Daoust responded with his 22nd of the year at the 18:06 mark as the Wings led 4-2 after the second.

Bootland's hat trick goal came at the 7:38 mark from Brad Church and Kory Karlander, just three seconds after a Ryan Barnes penalty expired.

Mike Omicioli was handed a game misconduct at the 11:40 mark of the third, while Ed Campbell was assessed a 10 minute misconduct at the same time.

Later in the 3rd period, Daoust dropped the gloves with Deitch while Barnes fought Tyler Willis at the 13:40 mark. Daoust also received an extra penalty for instigating and a 10 minute misconduct to end his night. These fights followed a first round battle with Brad Wingfield and Mark Vilneff as Wingfield easily handled Vilneff.

Platt saved 23 of 28 shots in the loss for Danbury, who dall to 35-14-10 on the season.
