The Bucks look to get back on the winning track Tuesday and improve to 3-1 on their season high five game home stand. The Bucks had their two game winning streak snapped on Saturday with a 4-1 loss to Rapid City.

Laredo welcomes back two-time CHL All-Star and 2008-09 CHL Rookie of the Year Darryl Smith to the lineup on Tuesday. In 121 regular season games with the Bucks Smith put up 141 points (71-70141) including 18 game-winning goals with a plus-20 rating.

Reigning CHL Player of the Week Neil Trimm is tied for the CHL lead in points with 15 (5-10-15) and has picked up at least a point in Laredo's first eight games. Serge Dube leads all CHL defensemen in points and also has a eight-game point streak entering Saturday's game (1-1112).

This season marks the first time in history that the Bucks and Mudbugs will be in the same conference. Up until this season the Mudbugs were in the Northern Conference but switched to the newly named Berry Conference (Southern) with the Bucks.

Laredo will play five of their next six games on home ice with the only road game in that stretch November 13th at Bossier-Shreveport. During this home stretch five of those home games will be against teams that made the playoffs last season.

The second-place Mudbugs enter Tuesday's game on a two-game losing streak after falling to Mississippi and Allen over the weekend. Bossier is two points behind Allen for first in the conference.

Justin Aikens is third in the CHL in scoring with 14 points (5-914).

The Bucks announced Monday that they have traded Matt Robinson to Wichita for future considerations. Robinson had six points (1-56) and a minus-five rating in eight games for the Bucks.
