DANBURY CUTS THROUGH WATERTOWN DEFENSE IN 5-1 WIN

DANBURY – In the first of three games in four nights, the Danbury Hat Tricks defeated the Watertown Wolves 5-1 on the road at Northern Credit Union Community Arena. With the win, the Hat Tricks improved to 4-5 on the season.

The Hat Tricks took control early at 3:01 when Genaro Fronduto’s backhander slipped past Anthony Shrum. Five minutes later, Grady Friedman escaped an oncoming defenseman and dropped it low for Levi Wunder who zipped it across to Josh Newberg for a one-time finish. Then at 11:36, Stefan Miklakos teed up Fronduto for his second of the period, this time shorthanded for the Hat Tricks’ third goal of the period.

It was a penalty-riddled second period as both teams combined for 9 penalties. Wolves defenseman Taylor Cutting collected 26 PIMs of his own on the way to a game misconduct at 8:26, his third of the season. Brendan Hussey got the Wolves on the board at 12:31 off a high-slot wrister, bringing it to 3-1 after two periods.

Halfway through the third, Danbury cashed in again at 9:37 with another shorthanded goal as Stefan Miklakos finished off a two-on-one. With 36 seconds left, Levi Wunder added a fifth to punctuate a dominant road win.

The Danbury Hat Tricks now head out to Michigan where they are set to face the Port Huron Prowlers on Friday, November 13th at McMorran Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:05pm ET.
