The Bucks will welcome back Cullaton to the line up Thursday night. The former Captain will skate on the LEC ice for the first time as a Buck, since Game two of the 2006 President's Cup Finals on April 29, 2006.
Cullaton was re-acquired for future considerations Tuesday, in a trade from Rocky Mountain.
The Bucks currently hold down the third playoff spot in the Southern Conference, as they try to catch the Texas Brahmas for first in the Southeast Division. Laredo is currently 12 points behind Texas, with two games in hand.
Laredo has won two of their last three games, but fell last Saturday to the Ice Rays 6-3 at the LEC. Corpus scored three second period goals to take the lead, including two via the power-play.
Laredo is now 6-1-1 against Corpus thus far this season.
The Bucks will be without two Veterans for a while, as Jeff Bes and Bobby Russell have both been placed on the 30-day IR.
Thursday's game is the second of three in a row for the Bucks against the Ice Rays. The two teams will meet again Friday night at the American Bank Center.
The Ice Rays are coming off of a 3-2 home loss to Rio Grande Valley Tuesday night. Corpus gave up the game-winning goal with just 47 seconds left in the third period.
Corpus is chasing the final playoff spot in the Conference, as they entered Wednesday one point back of Arizona.
After the Bucks and Ice Rays meet on Friday night, Laredo will return home Saturday when they host Tulsa, on Westwind Homes and Jr. Bucks Night. Group tickets start at just $10, call 718-BUCK (2825) to order now.
