SPECIALTY TEAMS: Despite giving up two power play goals on Saturday night, the Amarillo Bulls penalty killing continues to be very productive allowing just five power play goals in the four games. Joey DiBenedetto's shorthanded goal in the third period was the second scored by the Bulls this season and first allowed by the Lone Star Brahmas.

BULLS NOTES: The Amarillo Bulls have led just once after 40 minutes of play this season on the road. Defenseman Jesper Synellius has five assists in his last four games.
