It Been Awhile

The last time Joel Martin started a game for the K-Wings, he earned an important victory. Martin's last game between the pipes for Kalamazoo was Game 5 of the 2006 Colonial Cup Finals when the K-Wings defeated the Danbury Trashers to win the cup.

Seventh Heaven Forward Glenn Detulleo has started the season on fire. Detulleo enters the night on an IHL and K-Wings current-high seven-game point streak.

Closing in on 200

Forward Lucas Drake is closing in on a personal milestone. Drake needs two more points to reach 200 for his career.

Dishing it Out

Of late, defenseman Jason Robinson has been on a giving mood. Robinson comes into the game on a K-Wings season-high four-game assist streak.
