Laredo's fourth straight victory came thanks to a 4-2 win over Rio Grande Valley on Thursday night. Rick Kozak and Darryl Smith each picked up a goal and an assist, with Jeff Bes and Bobby Russell each handing out two helpers. Sebastien Centomo picked up his seventh win of the campaign, as he set aside 25 of 27 Killer Bee shots.
Entering Friday night's CHL action, Jeff Bes is tied for the league lead in scoring with 22 points (3-19=22). Bes'19 assists are top in the league, and he has scored a point in 12 of 13 games this season, including the last 11.
Amarillo comes into Saturday's game fresh off of a hard-fought 3-2 loss in Oklahoma City Thursday night. Former Gorilla Bill Vandermeer scored the game-winner for the Blazers just 27 seconds into the third period to beat his old team.
Sam Ftorek leads Amarillo in scoring with 17 points (4-13=17).
The Gorillas are in the midst of a six-game road trip, in which they are 1-3 thus far.
Saturday's meeting between the Bucks and Gorillas is the only one of the year at the LEC. The other three times Laredo and Amarillo will meet will take place at the Amarillo Civic Center.
