Kalamazoo's Brett Lysak had nine shots in last night's 4-3 loss to the Trenton Titans. The nine shots on net are a season-high for Kalamazoo.

Feels Like the First Time Forward Wesley Myron earned his first two points in his pro career last night. Myron recorded two assists last night against the Titans.

My Favorite Martin Goaltender Joel Martin is closing in a personal milestone. Martin needs one more win to reach 200 in his career.
