Danbury Trashers News Release


DANBURY, CT--Shawn Collymore and Drew Omicioli each netted two goals while Sly Daigle stopped 40 shots as the Danbury Trashers defeated the Rockford IceHogs before a sellout crowd on Saturday night at the Danbury Ice Arena.

In an effort to rebound from Friday's loss to Elmira, Danbury jumped to a quick lead as Collymore and Omicioli scored at 3:21 and 6:06 to give the Trashers a 2-0 lead. Rockford closed the gap as Greg Barber scored the first of a pair of goals at the 7:06 mark as the Trashers took a 2-1 lead into the dressing room at the end of the first.

The Trashers extended their lead in the second period, first with a Collymore goal at 2:38, followed by Jeff Daw's shorthanded goal at the 11:33 mark before Rockford scored late in the period as Preston Mizzi beat Daigle with a power-play goal as the Trashers led 4-2 after the second.

The final period started on shaky ground for Danbury as Barber scored his second of the night at 2:27, followed by Chaz Johnson's game-tying goal at the 3:41 mark.

Danbury regained the lead as JM Daoust shot a puck from the corner that was tipped into the Rockford net by IceHogs forward Preston Mizzi at the 10:17 mark. Omicioli's second goal was an empty netter at 19:59 as he shot a 100 footer while slipping onto the ice into the open net.

Michel Robinson started in goal for Rockford and saved 31 of 36 shots while Daigle saved 40 of 44. Danbury's lead in the UHL East Division extended to nine points following Adirondack's 3-1 loss to Elmira.
