Starting a home and home series, the Kalamazoo Wings are heading to McMorran Place Arena to battle the Port Huron Icehawks. The K-Wings, who are 3-3-0-0 versus the Icehawks this season, will finish off the two-game set on Friday back at Wings Stadium.

After suffering back-to-back losses, the K-Wings will try to avoid tying a season-high three-game losing streak. Playing their first game of the month, Kalamazoo is hoping for fresh start in February after going 6-7-0-0 last month.
