ECHL Kalamazoo Wings

Countdown to Face-Off: Kalamazoo vs Toledo

October 20, 2012 - ECHL (ECHL)
Kalamazoo Wings News Release


While it is very early in the season, first place will be on the line this evening, as the Kalamazoo Wings hit the ice to battle the Toledo Walleye at Wings Stadium. The Walleye defeated the K-Wings last week 4-1 in team's first encounter of the season at the Huntington Center.

Starting the home portion of their schedule on a high-note last night, the K-Wings defeated the Fort Wayne Komets 1-0 in a shootout in front of a sold out crowd. With the game-winner occurring in the shootout, Kalamazoo's offense will try to get back on track, as the team has scored one goal in their past six periods.

Like the K-Wings, the Walleye needed extra time last night to secure a victory, as Toledo defeated the Cincinnati Cyclones 3-2 in overtime. After playing their first two games at home, the Walleye are set to hit the road for the first time in the young season.

Home Sweet Home

Kalamazoo opened up the home portion of their schedule with a 1-0 shootout victory last night versus Fort Wayne. Last season, the K-Wings went 18-14-0-1 at Wings Stadium.

My Favorite Martin

Goaltender Joel Martin stopped 35 shots last night to record his first shutout of the season. The shutout was Martin's 16th of his career and the 11th as a member of the K-Wings.

Northern Stars

The K-Wings will get a quick feel on how they will stack up against the North Division. Including the three games under their belts, Kalamazoo will play their first nine games against division foes.

Stingy in the Third

So far this season, the K-Wings are allowing their opponents an average of 30.67 shots per game, but not a lot those are occurring early in the game. On average, opponents are only getting eight shots against Kalamazoo in the final period.
