Elmira Jackals News Release
ELMIRA, NY - November 22, 2014 - The Elmira Jackals, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Buffalo Sabres and AHL's Rochester Americans, eye their sixth straight win at First Arena tonight when they host their former Atlantic Division foe, the Wheeling Nailers.

WHEN: 7:05 p.m. EST

The Jackals host Wheeling at First Arena for the first home meeting of the season. Elmira visited the Nailers at WesBanco Arena last Wednesday for a 10:35 a.m. school day game. First period goals from Taylor Stefishen and Mike Seidel provided the Jackals with a 2-0 lead going into the third period, but the Nailers battled back and tied the game, sending it into extra time. Neither team capitalized in overtime, so the contest continued into a shootout. The Nailers topped the Jackals in the skills competition and took the first meeting of the season. Last season the Jackals and Nailers met fifteen times and Elmira finished with a 3-9-3 record against their former Atlantic Division rival. Despite the tough sledding last season, the Jackals hold the advantage with a 37-25-9 all-time record against the Nailers.
Travis Fullerton has taken his game to the next level in the month of November. The Riverview, NB native is 3-0-1 with a 1.46 goals-against-average and a .947 save percentage in four starts this month.
