HAT TRICKS END FIVE-GAME SKID WITH 3-2 WIN OVER ROCKERS

DANBURY – The Danbury Hat Tricks snapped their five-game losing streak on Saturday night with a 3-2 win over the Motor City Rockers.

Austan Bellefeuille gave Danbury an early lead at 3:03, slotting home a loose puck in front for his first goal of the season. The Hat Tricks carried that 1-0 lead into the first intermission.

Halfway through the second period, Levi Wunder found a streaking Grady Friedman in behind the Rockers defensive pair. In alone, the rookie lifted a backhand shot over Jake Gwillim to score his 4th of the season and give the Hat Tricks a 2-0 lead after two periods.

Motor City offered a late push in the third period as Jhuwon Davis scored at 10:22 to make it 2-1. But 52 seconds later, Conor Witherspoon stuffed home a loose rebound to restore the Hat Tricks’ two-goal lead. With the goaltender pulled, TJ Sneath beat Kyle Penton with 36 seconds to go. Yet despite being outshot 39-21 (and 21-9 in the 3rd), the Hat Tricks survived.

The Danbury Hat Tricks (3-5) begin a three-game road trip on Wednesday, November 11th as they visit the Watertown Wolves (0-7-2) at the Northern Credit Union Community Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:05pm.
