Walleye Notes
à Five in a Week! Toledo just finished one of the busiest weeks of the season with five games played. On Tuesday night, the Walleye scored twice in the third period to catch Gwinnett only to lose 4-3 in overtime. The next night Toledo went into Wheeling and Tyler Barnes netted the game-winning goal midway through the third period 4-2. The Kalamazoo Wings handed Toledo its first shutout loss of the season 2-0 Friday night. The Walleye rebounded Saturday night with a pair of Justin Mercier goals in a 5-2 home win over the Wings. Sunday, Shane Berschbach scored late in overtime for Toledo to pick up a 5-4 win at Fort Wayne.
à Caught the Best! Sunday's win vaulted this Toledo team into history matching the 1995-96 Storm for the best record after 23 games of a season. That team was also 17-4-2 at this point of the season and dropped game number 24 to fall to 17-5-2. With a win on Tuesday, the Walleye would have the best 24 game record in Toledo ECHL history.
à Packing the House! A sellout crowd of 7,495 was on hand Saturday night at the Huntington Center. It was the third sellout this year for the Walleye and the 51st in the history of the Huntington Center.
à Never Say Never Again! Twice this past week Toledo erased third period deficits to pick up points. Both Tuesday and Sunday the Walleye trailed 3-1 going to the final period. Tuesday, Gwinnett was able to beat Toledo in overtime while the Walleye collected the overtime win Sunday. Toledo is 3-4-1 when they trail after the first two periods.
à High Five and More! Toledo won back to back games Saturday and Sunday each time reaching the five goal mark. Twelve times this year Toledo has reached the five goal mark and has a record of 12-0-0 when they hit five.
à The Quest Continues! Toledo is back at it when they host the Greenville Road Warriors Tuesday morning at the Huntington Center. The Road Warriors defeated the Walleye 6-3 on November 21. Friday night Toledo will be in Indy for the first ever meeting against the Fuel. Saturday is a return trip to Kalamazoo to take on the Wings. The Walleye are 2-1-0 against Kalamazoo this year.
