Dadonov Connects For 14th Goal of The Season In 2-0 Win

Keith Wazniak, Letsgoamerks.com March 14, 2010

It only 65 seconds for the Amerks to take a 2-0 lead thanks to Evgeny Dadonov for tipping in a pass from Daniel Steiner. Chris Taylor had been chasing down the puck and he over skated it along with the Crunch defender following him. The puck was just sitting there for Steiner to make the pass to Dadonov.

Evengy Dadonov has 14 goals and 33 points for the Amerks this season

Vet Chris Taylor Not Worried About Scoring Slump

Chris Taylor's 18 year professional hockey career has taught him enough to realize scoring slumps come and go. The Rochester Amerks center does not have a goal in his last nine games. Despite the drought, Rochester coach Benoit Groulx's confidence in Taylor has not fallen. Groulx commented that, "Five-on-five [Taylor] has been a very reliable player...I don't think he's gone down hill at all." Taylor himself believes that the scoring slump has more to do with his evolving role on the team. When he was a point-a-game player and led the team in scoring three times in a four-year span (2001-02, '02-03 and '04-05), he was the No. 1 center on the power play and first over the boards when the team needed a goal. This season, Jamie Johnson has been centering the No. 1 scoring line and Taylor has been used as much in a defensive role as he has for his scoring.
