WHAT: ECHL REGULAR SEASON GAME
WHEN: Saturday, December 3, 2016 @ 7:00 PM
WHERE: Glens Falls Civic Center - Glens Falls, NY
TONIGHT'S MATCHUP: The Thunder and Eagles are at it again tonight at the Civic Center to close out both their back-to-back set this weekend and the season series between the two teams. Adirondack was victorious last evening by a 5-1 score in a chippy first matchup in Glens Falls that featured 37 penalty minutes.
WE GOT THAT POWER: Adirondack took advantage of a penalty filled contest last night as they converted three times on the man advantage in the 5-1 victory. The Thunder, who had eight opportunities, tied a franchise record with the three power-play goals, the most they have scored this season. Brian Ward, Peter MacArthur and Dennis Kravchenko scored on the man advantage, Ward's second of the year, while Mathieu Brodeur had two assists.
SIX PACK: The Thunder are approaching another franchise record as they enter tonight's action undefeated in regulation in their last six games, the second time they have hit that mark this season. The Thunder have reached six games five times in franchise history to date but have only extended it to seven once, in 2015-16, when they opened the season with seven straight victories.
KING MacARTHUR'S COURT: Adirondack Thunder Captain Peter MacArthur extended his point streak to seven games with a goal and an assist in last night's win. The winger now has 13 points (6-7-13) on the season, fourth on the team in scoring. MacArthur has a strong history against the Eagles in his ECHL career, as he's netted 16 points (5-11-16) in nine games against them. The Clifton Park native set career bests in assists (4 - 10/28/11) and points (5 - 1/7/12) in games against Colorado in the 2011-12 season.
TOM-ATO SOUP: Adirondack netminder Tom McCollum made his Thunder debut last evening as he made 21 saves on 22 shots in the 5-1 victory over Colorado. The 6-3 goaltender picked up his 125th career professional win in the victory, which includes 20 at the ECHL level. McCollum was assigned to the Thunder from the Stockton Heat on Thursday.
HANK THE TANK: Adirondack Thunder forward James Henry continued his scoring run as he added another goal in last night's win, his third straight game with a goal. The 5-9 forward concluded Adirondack's scoring on the evening with the final goal in the third period. Henry now has 10 points (3-7-10) in 14 games on the season, matching his hottest start to an ECHL season with the 2014-15 season in Stockton.
YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR FIRST: Forwards Dennis Kravchenko and Brandon Baddock each recorded firsts in their professional careers in Friday's win. Kravchenko scored his first career professional goal with his early third period tally, extending his point streak to two games. Baddock picked up his first career professional point with an assist on James Henry's third period goal, coming in his seventh career game.
