Houston Aeros vs. San Antonio Rampage, 3/27

Five things you absolutely need to know before reading any further –

Aeros centerman Mark Cullen has helped raise $700 for "Sunshine Kids", which helps children struck with cancer and their families. An anonymous donor is giving $100 per Cullen goal and $50 per assist to the organization. Cullen, who was diagnosed with malignant melanoma last fall, has two and 10 assists since the campaign started March 5. Last night, Cullen had the game-winning goal and an assist.

Goalie Johan Holmqvist is 6-4-1 with a 2.20 goals against average and two shutouts in his career against San Antonio. He has blanked both San Antonio and Utah twice, although the Rampage is the only team he's shut out twice in one season.

Houston has 13 special teams goals (10PP, 3 SH) in the season series, while San Antonio has just five (5 PP).

The Aeros' magic number to qualify for the post-season is 15 points, a combination of their wins and losses by San Antonio. The magic number could shrink to 11 points with a regulation win tonight.

Houston's Jeff Hoggan has a goal in each of the last five games, tied with teammate Kyle Wanvig's team season-high, which is also tied for the longest such streak in the AHL this season. Hoggan's streak is the longest active streak in the AHL. Prior to this run, Hoggan had scored in back-to-back games just once, in his rookie campaign of 2002-03. The last Aero with a six-game goal streak was Curtis Murphy from December 30-January 10 of last season.

Rampage at Aeros (Aeros lead all-time series 14-4-3-2, Aeros lead 9-2-0-0 at Houston)

Tonight is the 24th all-time meeting between the teams – 12th in Houston.

The road team has emerged victorious in just three of the first 11 meetings between the teams this season.

The Aeros have won four of the last five meetings, with San Antonio's 2-1 overtime win March 13 the lone non-win, although Houston still picked up a point. The Aeros are unbeaten in regulation in the last six meetings (4-0-1-1).

Houston has just two losses in 11 home meetings with the Rampage, including one this season January 16.

Houston went 8-3-1-0 against San Antonio in 2002-03, the Rampage's first year.

This is the last of 12 meetings this season.

The team that has scored first has won only five of the first 11 meetings.

In the last Toyota Center meeting between the teams, Jeff Hoggan snapped a tie with 2:57 left in the second period, Dan Cavanaugh also scored and Johan Holmqvist made 27 saves in a 2-1 in March 12.

Last game – Mark Cullen scored the game-winner and assisted on Jeff Hoggan's fifth goal in as many games to raise another $150 for Sunshine Kids, and Johan Holmqvist made 25 saves for his career-best fourth career shutout, as Houston beat San Antonio 3-0 at SBC Center. The Aeros moved their unbeaten streak to three games (2-0-1-0) and have won back-to-back road games for the second time this season. Fourth-place Houston now has 68 points, four better than Cincinnati, a 5-3 home victor over Chicago last night thanks to a trio of third-period goals. San Antonio, in seventh place, fell 10 points behind the Aeros with 12 games to play. Cullen pushed the total raised for Sunshine Kids to $700 since March 5. He has two goals and 10 assists in that span.

Scouting the Aeros – Houston, 7-3-2-1 in its last 13, hopes to continue its march towards a Calder Cup playoff spot tonight. The Aeros are still playing without leading scorer Stephane Veilleux (12+26=38), who was recalled to Minnesota February 27. Rickard Wallin (14+17=31) and defenseman Zbynek Michalek (5+14=19) have since joined Veilleux with the Wild. Defenseman Travis Roche (8+30=38) has used four points in the last three games to vault into a tie with Veilleux for the team's scoring lead, one up on Kyle Wanvig (23+14=37) and six ahead of Dan Cavanaugh (12+20=32) and Mark Cullen (9+23=32). Last season's Calder Cup Most Valuable Player, goalie Johan Holmqvist, has played 59 of the team's first 74 games, going 23-27-7 with a 2.56 goals against average and three shutouts. Holmqvist has started nine straight games, tying a season-high. Kyle Kettles is 3-7-5 with a 2.59 goals against average but has deserved a better fate. In 14 starts, the Aeros have scored 24 goals in front of the rookie netminder.

Scouting the Rampage – San Antonio has gone 2-5-1-0 in its last eight and is winless in four straight (0-3-1-0) to fall into last place in the West, three points behind Utah, which prior to this week had trailed since mid December. San Antonio is six points out of the final playoff spot, currently held by Cincinnati, but has three games in hand on the Ducks. The Rampage is kicking off a seven-game road trip and is playing game two of a stretch where the team plays 13 games in 17 nights. San Antonio, though, is finally getting its full compliment of players back from NHL Florida. Leading scorer Denis Shvidki (14+34=48) spent a short time with the Panthers, as did Josh Olson (19+10=29). Lee Goren (20+20=40) is the team's second leading active scorer behind Shvidki. The Rampage blueline is anchored by youngster Michel Periard (6+21=27). Travis Scott is the go-to goalie and sports a 21-26-6 mark with a 2.50 goals against average. Scott ranks among the league leaders in minutes, wins, losses and saves. His backup is Brent Krahn, who is 3-5-1 with a 3.64 goals against average since being assigned to San Antonio.

Aeros/Rampage connections

Houston defenseman Erik Reitz played alongside the Rampage's Matt Dzieduszycki (1999-2001) and Denis Shvidki (1999-2000) in OHL Barrie. Dzieduszycki is also a member of the Louisiana IceGators, the Aeros' ECHL affiliate.

San Antonio's Paul Elliott was a teammate of Houston netminder Kyle Kettles in Medicine Hat in 1999-2000.

Houston defenseman Travis Roche played alongside San Antonio's Lee Goren for one season (1999-2000) at North Dakota.

The Rampage's Greg Crozier played 17 games over two seasons (2001-02 and 2002-03) with the Aeros, totaling seven points (1+6=7) and 16 penalty minutes. Crozier also chipped in three points (2+1=3) in 14 Calder Cup playoff games in 2001-02 as the Aeros advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

San Antonio's Kristian Kudroc and Houston's Michael Schutte were teammates last season in Springfield.

And down the stretch they come – Houston will play eight games over the final three weeks of the season, including four big matchups in six days this week. Each of the Aeros' six remaining games is against the West Division. Houston is 19-23-9-2 against the West this season, including a 9-9-3-1 mark in the last 22 games.

Aeros look for points in four straight –

Houston, coming off last night's 3-0 win in San Antonio, is 7-3-2-1 over its last 13 games (.654 win pct).

Houston has 12 wins in its last 42 games (12-18-10-2) and is two games above the .500 mark the last 52 games (21-19-10-2).

The Aeros' 13-game winless streak (0-5-7-1) December 27-January 23 was five more than their previous franchise record eight-game streak (0-6-1-1), November 20-December 3 of this season.

Houston ran off a season-high seven straight games without a loss (3-0-4-0) December 20-January 2, including four straight ties December 27-January 2.

The Aeros won six straight December 5-17, outscoring their opponents 18-6 in the process.

In the season's first 20 games, Houston allowed a league-worst 3.40 goals per game. In the last 54 games, the Aeros have yielded just 2.52 goals per game. The defensive streak has helped Houston move out of the basement to 2.74 goals against per game, tied for 16th in the AHL.

Home cookin' – The Aeros are unbeaten in four straight (3-0-1-0) at home, and have also gone 7-3-1-0 in the last 11 at Toyota Center since falling 3-1 to Cincinnati January 27. Houston plays five of its final six games at home, including three against teams chasing the Aeros in the playoff race.

The Aeros are averaging 3.50 goals per game over the last eight home games, in which they are 5-2-1-0.

Houston started off its first season in Toyota Center just 2-6-1-1 but has improved to 16-11-6-2 at its new home. In the last 25 Toyota Center games, the Aeros have only five regulation losses and are 14-5-5-1.

Houston's season-best, nine-game home unbeaten streak was snapped January 8 in a 1-0 overtime loss to Hartford.

"O" exploding –

The Aeros are averaging 3.13 goals per game in the last 16 games to improve to 2.46 goals per game, 17th in the AHL.

The Aeros have scored five goals in five of their last 12 games, including two straight last Sunday and Tuesday.

Houston has been held to two goals or fewer in 27 of the last 45 games (60.0 percent), including a scoreless streak of 178 minutes, 52 seconds that included back-to-back shutouts January 8-9.

Houston has scored two goals or less in 43 of 74 games (58.1 percent) this season.

Aeros, Ducks, Rampage, Grizzlies in a playoff dog-fight – Fourth-place Houston has 68 points, four more than Cincinnati, seven better than Utah and 10 up on San Antonio in the West Division. Cincinnati, which has three games in hand on the Aeros, beat Chicago 5-3 last night and plays host to Cleveland tonight before traveling to San Antonio tomorrow. Utah, which along with Houston has played 74 games, plays host to Grand Rapids tonight, after the dealing the slumping Griffins a 4-0 defeat last night. San Antonio, which has six games in hand on Houston, finishes off the week tomorrow at home versus Cincinnati after the home-and-home with the Aeros. The top five teams in the West make the playoffs, with the fourth- and fifth-place team playing a three-game qualifying series at the higher seed. Home ice will be important, since the four teams chasing the final two playoff spots are a combined 41 games under .500 on the road. The Aeros' magic number to qualify for the post-season is 15 points, a combination of their wins and losses by San Antonio. The magic number could shrink to 11 points with a regulation win tonight.

Hoggan tearing it up –

Aeros right winger Jeff Hoggan has a goal in each of his last five games, three better than his previous career-best. Hoggan has added two assists in the five-game point streak, which is two better than his prior career-high.

Hoggan's five-game goal streak has tied Kyle Wanvig for the team season-high, and Wanvig and several others for the AHL season-high. Hoggan's streak is the longest current run in the AHL.

The rugged winger has 33 points (19+14=33), and his 19 goals are second on the team. In his rookie season in 2002-03, Hoggan totaled just 11 points (6+5=11).

In his last 16 games, Hoggan has posted a negative plus-minus rating just once, and he is plus-14 in that span to move to plus-three on the season.

Hoggan is tied for second on the team with three game-winning goals, including two against San Antonio.

The Aeros are 16-5-5-2 when Hoggan notches a point and 9-5-3-2 when he scores a goal.

Wanvig reaches 20-goal mark – Aeros right wing Kyle Wanvig has gotten to the 20-goal plateau for the first time in his pro career. Wanvig, who scored his 20th February 28 against San Antonio, picked up No. 23 Tuesday against Utah. Wanvig has 38 total points between Houston and Minnesota, and 37 alone with the Aeros (23+14=37). Wanvig's previous career-high for goals was 14 combined (13 with Houston) last season, when he had 30 points, 29 with the Aeros.

Holmqvist gets career-best fourth shutout – Three nights after posting a season-best 42 saves, Aeros netminder Johan Holmqvist stopped 25 shots for his career-best fourth shutout in last night's 3-0 win over San Antonio. Holmqvist is 6-3-1 in his last 10 starts, and he has seven wins (7-9-2) in his last 18 games, although the Aeros have scored just 21 goals in those 11 non-wins (1.91 gpg).

Holmqvist, the 2003 Butterfield Trophy winner as Calder Cup Playoffs MVP, sports a 28-30-7 mark with Houston.

A noted late- and post-season performer, Holmqvist's 21 March wins are his most of any month. Holmqvist has two shutouts this March and three of his 10 career shutouts in the month.

Holmqvist's current 2.56 goals against average is a career best.

Holmqvist went 6-0-0 with a 1.00 goals against average and a .963 save percentage during a six-game winning streak December 5-17. The six-game winning streak set a new career-high.

The Aeros' netminder had a shutout streak of 189 minutes, seven seconds snapped December 17, just missing Frederic Chabot's 1996 team record mark of 193 minutes, 37 seconds.

In his 23 wins this season, Holmqvist is allowing 1.04 goals per game and sports a .961 save percentage. In his 36 non-wins, Holmqvist has a 3.57 goals against average and a .875 save percentage. Holmqvist leads the AHL in minutes played (3,467), is second in saves (1,468) and is tied for third in wins (23).

Holmqvist has played in 59 games. Arguably the most durable AHL goalie in recent memory, Holmqvist is the only goalie to play 43 or more AHL games in each of the past four seasons.

With action in one more game, Holmqvist will become only the fifth AHL goalie in the past six seasons to play in 60 or more games. Vesa Toskala (2001-02) and Jimmy Waite (1999-2000) each played in 62 games, the most since Norm Maracle's 66-game campaign in 1997-98.

Kettles wins a big one –

Rookie goalie Kyle Kettles snapped an eight appearance winless streak (0-3-5) by making 26 saves in a 5-2 win in San Antonio February 27. Kettles made a season-best 34 saves March 5 but fell 3-1 to Grand Rapids.

Kettles was 2-0-4 with a 0.95 goals against average and a .960 save percentage in six starts from December 23-January 17, dropping his goals against average from 3.65 to 2.19.

The netminder picked up his first AHL shutout by making 20 saves in a January 9 game versus Worcester. Unfortunately for Kettles, his team didn't score either and he had to settle for a tie.

The Aeros scored just 12 goals in his first 10 games this season, but they have 12 goals in his last four starts.

Mitchell gets first two-goal game –

Defenseman Kevin Mitchell not only notched his first career two-goal game in 211 professional contests March 21 in Norfolk, he also picked up the Aeros' only two-goal game by a blueliner all season.

Mitchell 21 points (5+16=21) with the Aeros, and 13 of those points have come on the power play. Last season with ECHL Louisiana, Mitchell had 23 of his 34 points with the man advantage.

Mitchell has 23 career goals counting his ECHL totals, and an eye-popping 17 have come on the power play. Six of Mitchell's eight AHL goals have come with the man advantage.

Mitchell had points in five straight games (1+5=6) for the first time in his AHL career January 23-31. Mitchell's five-game assist streak was an Aeros season-high by two games.

The blueliner has eight points (3+5=8) over the last 12 games and 18 points (5+13=18) in the last 28 games.

Holmqvist 6-4-1 against Rampage – Aeros netminder Johan Holmqvist is 6-4-1 with a 2.20 goals against average and two shutouts versus San Antonio. Holmqvist is 5-2-0 with a sparkling 1.69 goals against average against the Rampage this season and has yielded just four goals in his last four games against San Antonio. Both of Holmqvist's losses have been in overtime. The Rampage is one of two teams (Utah) that Holmqvist has blanked twice, and the only team he has shut out twice in one season. Kyle Kettles has started against the Rampage three times, with four appearances overall. Kettles is 1-1-2 with a 2.00 goals against average versus San Antonio, with the lone loss coming in relief of Holmqvist January 16 at Toyota Center.

Scott 3-6-2 versus Aeros –San Antonio's Travis Scott is 3-6-2 with a 2.75 goals against average against the Aeros, with all 11 games coming this season. In his three wins versus Houston, his team has scored a total of 13 goals. In the other eight games, San Antonio has mustered seven goals. Former first-round pick Brent Krahn faced Houston in relief February 28, stopping all eight shots sent his way.

Heid a rookie coming into his own – Coaches will tell you that this late in the season, rookies are rookies no more. That's the case with Aeros defenseman Chris Heid, who has a goal and three assists in the last six games. Overall in the last eight games, Heid sports a plus-seven rating. Heid assisted on Jeff Hoggan's game-winning goal March 12 versus San Antonio.

The youth shall lead them – Houston's "kids" are leading the way in 2003-04. Through 74 games, roughly half of the Aeros' scoring has come from players in their first or second year in the North American pro game. Of Houston's 492 scoring points, 248 (50.4 percent) have come from players in either their first or second season in North America, while 244 (49.6 percent) have come from players born in 1980 or after. Five of the team's eight top scorers were born during the Reagan administration.

Career highs all around – You'd be hard pressed to find an Aero who hasn't set at least one AHL career-high in 2003-04. Among them: Johan Holmqvist (59 games played, 3467 minutes, 2.56 goals against average); Erik Reitz (18 assists, 22 points); Zbynek Michalek (5 goals, 14 assists, 19 points); Marc Cavosie (10 goals, 21 assists, 31 points); Dan Cavanaugh (21 assists, 33 points); Kevin Mitchell (5 goals, 16 assists, 21 points); Jeff Hoggan (19 goals, 14 assists, 33 points); Stephane Veilleux (13 AHL goals tie career high, 25 assists, 38 points); Kyle Wanvig (23 goals, 36 points); Jason Beckett (142 PIM's).

Aeros still winless in OT – The Aeros, winless at 0-4-12 in overtime, have played just four extra sessions since needing overtime in eight of 10 games from December 27-January 17. Houston is the lone AHL team without an overtime win after Utah won twice in late February in the extra session, and just one team (Cleveland) has only one overtime win. The last teams to go through a season without an overtime win were Hamilton and Hartford last season. The Aeros went 8-3-7 in overtime in 2002-03, second in the league in extra session wins (Chicago, 11). The Aeros' 12 ties are one off the AHL lead (Portland) and still six short of the AHL/overtime era record, set in 1997-98 by St. John's. Grand Rapids (6-0-8) and San Antonio (7-0-8) are without a loss in overtime this season.

Aeros have first goal in 10 of 12 games – Houston has scored the game's first goal in 10 of its last 12 games. The Aeros are 20-8-6-2 overall when scoring first.

But when not scoring first... - The Aeros are 6-24-5-2 when allowing the game's first goal and picked up their first road win in such situations (1-16-4-0) March 21 in Norfolk. The game marked the first time all season Houston has trailed on the road at any point in a game and emerged victorious.

Houston has four wins when allowing more than one goal - The Aeros are an unbeaten in regulation 22-0-3-1 when allowing one or zero goals this season, and they have four wins (4-32-9-3) when yielding two or more.

Not comeback artists – Houston is one of four AHL teams without a win when trailing after two periods (0-26-6-1). The Aeros became the last team to record a win when trailing after one period (1-22-3-2) when they rallied for a 5-3 win Sunday in Norfolk. Last season, the Aeros were second in the AHL with six wins when trailing after two periods. Grand Rapids led the circuit with seven.

Penalty kill update –

The Aeros' overall 85.4 percent penalty kill rate (286-335) is 15th in the AHL, after spending much of season in the upper half of the top 10.

Houston killed off its first 31 shorthanded chances this season. Since then, opponents are 49-for-304 (16.1 percent) on the power play.

Opponents are 14-for-69 (20.3 percent) on the power play over the last 16 games and have scored 20 man-advantage goals in the last 23 games.

Houston has allowed six power play goals on 21 chances (28.6 percent goal rate) in the last five games.

The Aeros have yielded no power play goals in 38 of their 74 games, and have points in all but nine of those games (16-9-9-4).

San Antonio is 11th in the AHL on the power play at 15.8 percent. However, the Rampage sports a much better road power play (league-best 18.6 percent) than home (13.3, 19th).

The Rampage is 3-for-24 on the power play over its last six games, including two goals Sunday against Milwaukee.

San Antonio is 5-for-39 (12.8 percent) on the power play against Houston, but has given up three shorthanded goals. Lee Goren has two of the man-advantage goals versus the Aeros.

Power play update –

Houston enters tonight's game 52 of 407 on the power play (12.8 percent), 21st among 28 AHL teams.

The Aeros have gone 39-for-264 (14.8 percent) since Matt Foy snapped a streak of 37 straight unsuccessful power plays December 5, raising their percentage from a season-low 8.3 to 12.8.

The Aeros are 4-for-33 (12.1 percent) on the power play over their last six games.

Houston's 407 power plays are the most in the AHL, 11 more than second-place Manitoba and an eye-popping 154 more than San Antonio. The Aeros also led the league in 2002-03 with 514 chances.

The Aeros have only six wins in 36 games (6-22-7-1) when not scoring a power-play goal.

San Antonio is 21st in the AHL on the penalty kill at 83.8 percent.

Houston is 10-for-47 (21.3 percent) on the power play against the Rampage, including 5-for-23 (21.7 percent) the last four games. Rickard Wallin and Christoph Brandner each have two man advantage goals in the series.

Houston at 74-game mark – The Aeros passed the official midway point of the season with a 14-15-8-3 mark and now sport a 26-32-12-4 record. Houston can still finish at the .500 mark by winning each of its final six games. Below is a breakdown of Houston's season so far in 10-game segments.
