Goaltender Chris Driedger has seen the bulk of the workload between the pipes this season and has amassed a 3-5-0-1 record with a 3.45 goals-against average. Fellow netminder Branden Komm saw his first full game of work this past weekend and surrendered six goals on 40 shots.

Last Time Out: A pair of four-point games from Zach Budish and Byron Froese highlighted a 7-3 blowout win for the Cyclones over the Wings in front of 2,875 at U.S. Bank Arena last Saturday. Stephan Vigier and Christiaan Minella also earned multi-point games while Rob Madore earned his second victory of the weekend by turning aside 24 shots.
