Utica hosts Bridgeport at 7:00 p.m. Friday at the Adirondack Bank Center.
Kalamazoo faces the Cincinnati Cyclones again Friday at 7:35 p.m. at Heritage Bank Center, before traveling to Indianapolis for the first meeting of the season with the Indy Fuel at 6:00 p.m. Saturday at Indiana Farmers Coliseum. Catch all the action on 1660 AM, The Fan, in Kalamazoo or online on ECHL.TV.
The K-Wings return home Sunday afternoon for a 3:00 p.m. matinee against the Cyclones at Wings Event Center to complete a stretch of four games in five days. Sunday's promotion is "Pucks and Paws", where fans can bring their dogs to the game. Dog tickets are just $5.
