Dallas Rattlers News Release
FRISCO, Texas - The Dallas Rattlers are looking to keep momentum going this Saturday on the road against the Florida Launch. Faceoff is set for 6 p.m. CT/7 p.m. ET.
The Rattlers lineup appears to be coming together nicely as Randy Staats, Jordan MacIntosh, John Ranagan and Joel White all served as impact players in their season debuts last week. The Rattlers currently have the league's third most prolific point-scorer in Jordan Wolf (25 points). The defense looks to capitalize on a struggling Florida offense that has scored the second-least amount of goals (61) this season.
The Rattlers (4-2) will face a Launch (2-3) team that has struggled to win at home with a 1-3 record at FAU Stadium this season. As for the opposition, the Launch have been led by last year's first overall draft pick, Dylan Molloy. Molloy has recorded 13 goals and two assists through five games. The Launch have plenty of firepower on offense but with the third-worst faceoff win percentage (.429), they have struggled to get the ball to their playmakers.
The faceoff battle should prove to be an intriguing one as the Launch's Ben Williams will face Drew Simoneau for the second time this season. Williams was traded from the Bayhawks earlier this season. Simoneau held Williams winless in that matchup through four attempts and was replaced for the remainder of the game.
The game will be streamed for free live on Lax Sports Network at 6 p.m. CT/7 p.m. ET.
