The Bucks enter tonight's game two points behind Texas for third place in the Southern Conference and are three points ahead of Rio Grande Valley for fourth place.
If the Bucks win tonight they would sweep the season series from the Eagles for the third time in franchise history. Laredo went 1-0 against Colorado in the 2003-04 campaign and went 2-0 in the 2006-07 season.
Laredo has always struggled in Colorado as they have posted just a 2-8 record all-time (including playoffs) at the Budweiser Events Center and have never won back-to-back games there. The Bucks won Wednesday in Colorado for the first time since Jan. 24, 2007 when they beat the Eagles 3-1.
The Bucks have won back-to-back road games for the first time since November 6th-7th when they won two straight in Arizona. Laredo has not won three straight road games all season.
Colorado enters tonight's game four points back of Rapid City in the Northern Conference. The Eagles have two games in hand over Rapid City.
Colorado boasts two of the top three scorers in the CHL with Kevin Ulanski and Riley Nelson. Ulanski leads the league with 55 points (19-3655) while Nelson is third with 49 (19-3150).
The Bucks will close out their three-game road trip in Rapid City on Saturday.
