Each team has won 3-1 on the road as the Aeros look to improve their 5-0-0-1 November home-record. Houston has also reassigned goaltender Anton Khudobin to the Texas Wildcatters of the ECHL. Houston has also been assigned left wing Matt Kassian from the ECHL affiliate.
Kassian, 21 (10/28/86), has skated in four games with the Aeros this season recording 19 penalty minutes. The Edmonton, Alb., native has played in seven games with the Wildcatters marking one goal and nine PIM with the team.
