QUICK NUMBERS

- Abbotsford boasts one of the league's top special team units. Their 23.2% conversion rate on the powerplay is good enough for 4th in the AHL. That high rate has resulted in 55 powerplay goals, tied for 2nd best in the league.

- Toronto is still able to turn a penalty kill into a positive however, as they have put up 10 shorthanded goals this season. That tally is good enough for 4th in the AHL.

- Madison Bowey has been on a tear as of late, picking up 12 points in his last 12 games (5 goals and 7 assists). During that stretch, four games have been multi-point nights.

- Guillaume Brisebois snapped his scoreless skid against Stockton, picking up his first goal in five games. That tally was his 2nd of the season in 13 games.

- Sheldon Dries remains amongst the league leaders in goals. His 32 goals so far this year has him in 3rd in the AHL scoring race.

- Spencer Martin has been a pillar of Abbotsford's success so far this season. His 16 wins is the ninth most by a netminder, and by far the most by a goalie who has played 21 games or fewer. Next on that list would be the 9 wins put up by Matt Jurusik of the Texas Stars, who has the 36th most wins in the AHL.
