We want you there at WesBanco Arena cheering for your hometown team! The Nailers have 13 games remaining in the regular season, 9 of which will be home games.
It's been a long seven game road-trip for the team so we're ready to welcome them back in style with three big home games in three days this weekend!
The Nailers are in the thick of a heated race in the standings for one of the coveted eight playoff spots. Wheeling trails the Reading Royals by just one point for the final spot. With three big games this weekend, the Nailers could find themselves rapidly moving up the standings if they can defend their home ice.
