SCHOENBORN SHOWCASING RUGGED PLAY: Forward Alex Schoenborn is also beginning to find his stride after returning from the IR in late November. The third-year pro was a goal shy of a Gordie Howe Hat Trick on Wednesday, assisting on Mathieu Foget's game-winner and dropping the gloves with the Icemen's Wacey Rabbit in the third period.
HULTS ENJOYING PRODUCTIVE DECEMBER: Forward Mitch Hults enters tonight's game with a three-game assist streak for the Solar Bears. The Lightning prospect currently leads all active players on the roster for the month of December with a +3.
