WARMINSTER, PA - The Eastern Hockey League Philadelphia Revolution (15-20-1-0) earned their first shutout win of the season against the New Jersey Titans by a 4-0 score. Newcomer Daniil Gerasimov earns his first home win at The Rink at Warwick, stopping all 41 shots on goal. "I am really proud of myself that I earned my first career shutout with the Revolution," said Gerasimov. "The great offensive and defensive support I received from my teammates helped me earn this accomplishment." Earlier this week, the Revolution acquired the Moscow, Russia native from the New York Bobcats in exchange for forward Myckauly Melanson. "I can't ask for a more better performance from Gerasimov," said EHL Head Coach James Laux. "He was making saves on shots that could have created a different outcome for this game." For the Revolution and Junior A hockey, today's win broke a franchise record in the regular season wins category. Prior to this season, since the organization originated as the Matt O'Neil Lightning (Charlestown, MA) in 1995, the most wins the organization has earned in the regular season was 14, a feat achieved during the 2003/04 season when the Revolution were then known as the Boston Harbor Wolves. "It's good to see the organization continuing to build at the Junior A level and showing great improvement," said Coach Laux. "We obviously have a lot of work to do coming down the stretch as we approach the playoffs and try to get good positioning." Scoring for the Revolution were forwards Ken Tencza, James Wallace, Zachary England, and Larry Adegoke. "In the beginning of the game," said Coach Laux, "we looked a little unprepared. We allowed the Titans to take advantage of us throughout the first period. Once we adjusted ourselves in the second and third periods, we were able to get the breaks we need to skate away with the win." Titans goaltender Justin Kirk received the loss in net for his team, allowing all four Revolution goals on 33 shots. The Revolution's next game will be on Sunday February 9, when they head to West Chester, Pennsylvania to take on the Philadelphia Junior Flyers. The puck is expected to drop at 2:00 PM. The Philadelphia Revolution are a United States Tier-III junior hockey organization stationed in Warminster, Pennsylvania. The team sports squads in the Eastern Hockey League, the United States Premier Hockey League, the Eastern Junior Elite Prospects League, and the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League.

In his first game with the Revolution, Gerasimov stopped 24 of 27 shots on net in the team's 6-3 victory over the Washington Junior Nationals back on January 18. Prior to his arrival in Warminster, the net minder posted a 3-1-2-0 record with a 2.20 goals against average and a 93.4 save percentage.

Since the acquisition, Melanson has registered five goals and 13 assists in 14 games. "The Philadelphia Revolution wish Melanson best of luck with the Bobcats," said Kanaly. "He is a professional young man on and off the ice and has a good future in hockey." The EHL's regular Trade Deadline is on February 6.
