St. Charles, MO - The St. Louis Ambush (3-16) take to the road for a two-game series against the Syracuse Silver Knights (10-7) at the Oncenter War Memorial Arena in Syracuse, New York this weekend. On Friday, February 16, the two teams clash at 6:06 p.m. CST, then face off Sunday, February 18 in a 3:05 p.m. CST matinee match.
St. Louis and Syracuse have squared off twice this season, both times at the Family Arena in St. Charles. The Silver Knights prevailed both times, winning 9-5 on January 19 and 6-4 on January 21.
