Killing Time

While the K-Wings penalty kill has been stellar leading the league at 94.5%, it has really shined on the road. Coming into tonight's game, the K-Wings have killed all 33 road power-plays they have faced.

He Shoots, He Scores

K-Wing Captain Nick Bootland has had no problems finding the net. Bootland enters the game on a K-Wings' season high four-game goal streak.

Cruising Along

Forward Kory Karlander has been racking up the points. Karlander has registered a point in six consecutive games, which ties the veteran with Justin Cross and Shawn Snider for the K-Wings' season high.
