Danbury Titans: Bourne Tricks Cornwall

 
 
The Danbury Titans begin their four games in four night stretch with a big win at home against the Cornwall Nationals. The Titans were led by the first professional hat trick for Taylor Bourne to a 5-3 victory.
 
Danbury got on the board first with a power play goal from Bourne in the second half of the first period. The Titans controlled the play until the Nationals were able to tie the game up with a shorthanded goal from Sylvester Bzdyl. The teams would enter the intermission knotted at 1.
 
The second period continued the back and forth as a second Bourne goal was answered by Cornwall when Darick Ste. Marie scored off of the faceoff. However, Mike Dolman's late power play goal would put the Titans up for good late in the period.
 
With many new guys in the lineup, the Titans locked it down as Matt Graham scored on a penalty shot goal. It was a physical affair for the rest of the period and the Titans eventually got into penalty trouble. With an empty net for Cornwall, Bourne's clearing attempt ended up in the empty net for his hat trick. Cornwall would add a late goal but would fall short.
               
Nick Niedert got the win stopping 21 of 24 shots while Paul Bourbeau stopped 42 of 46 shots.
 
The Titans head on the road for three straight. Friday and Saturdayare in Berlin against the Riverdrivers before finishing up Sunday in Cornwall. The Titans return home Friday, March 3 when they host the Port Huron Prowlers.
