Laredo has not won on the road since December 6, when they beat Texas 2-1 in a shootout.
Despite their recent slide, the Bucks enter today's game on top of the Southeast Division by one point over Texas (38 to 37), with a chance to increase their lead to three points with a win over the Rage.
Last night the Bucks fell to the Rage 3-2 in a shootout, with Brent Cullaton picking up the game-winning goal against his former team.
Jeff Bes comes into today's game third in the CHL in scoring with 44 points (10-34=44). Bes is six points shy of 500 in his Bucks career.
Darryl Smith still leads all rookies in scoring with 38 points (19-19=38).
With their win over the Bucks last night the Rage are now 7-4 in the month of December, and have won four out of their last five.
