Upcoming Games:
Friday, Jan. 19 @ Flint Generals
Saturday, Jan. 20 vs. Kalamazoo Wings (Home)
The Flags finish up their 4-game road stretch on Friday when they face the Flint Generals in Perani Arena. On Saturday, they return to McMorran to host the Kalamazoo Wings. These will be critical conference match-ups for the Flags, who have slipped below Flint and Elmira in the standings. Injuries have taken their toll on the team and the boys will have to be extra sharp on both ends of the arena to pull out two much-needed victories. Penalty killing will be the game-breaker, as opposing teams netted 7 power play goals this past weekend.
