Albany Devils News Release
Utica Comets vs. Albany Devils - 5 PM
ALBANY, NY - The Albany Devils will try and keep two streaks intact when they host the Utica Comets Saturday for a 5 pm outing at Times Union Center. The Devils have started the season undefeated, going 3-0-0-0, and the team is on a 14-game point streak against the Comets. Since their first meeting during the 2013-14 season, Albany has gone 12-0-2-0 against Utica.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
- Playoff Rematch: The Devils and Comets met during the First Round of the 2016 Calder Cup Playoffs. Albany prevailed, 3-1, winning Games 1, 2 and 4. Blake Pietila is the top returning scorer from that series. He posted four points during the final game, tallying two goals and two assists. In goal, Scott Wedgewood played all four games, registering a 1.93 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage.
- Fresh Start: Ben Sexton, who signed with Albany on Sept. 21, has points in all three games this season. He potted his first goal as a Devil during Friday's 3-2 shootout win against the Senators. In 76 career AHL games, Sexton has amassed 22 points (9g-13a).
- One of Four: Only four teams in the AHL remain undefeated: Albany (3-0), Milwaukee (3-0), Cleveland (2-0) and Ontario (2-0). The Devils, who are off to the best start in franchise history, came close to a perfect start during their first three games during the 2014-15 season, posting a 2-0-0-1 mark.
