LINCOLN (12-7)
The Stars suffered their first home loss in over two months with last night's 4-1 defeat to Fargo. Lincoln's six-game home winning streak came to an end but the Stars are still 6-2 at the Ice Box. Lincoln's lone goal last night came in the second when Jared Mangan redirected a shot from Cole Crusberg-Roseen to put the Stars on the board first at the 7:22 mark.
Lincoln gets another crack at Fargo tonight and looks to bounce back. The Stars are 3-2 after losses this season with all three wins coming at the Ice Box.
FARGO (13-3-0-3)
The Force extended their point streak to nine games with last night's victory. Fargo's top line of Mac Swanson, Cole Knuble and Bret Link was held to one point with Link picking up one assist. Swanson's seven-game point streak came to an end while Knuble was held off the scoresheet for only the fifth time this season.
Fargo picked up its third consecutive road victory and improved to 7-1 on the road after last night's win. Charlie Russell has recorded a point in all eight road games with four goals and eight assists. He added two assists last night for his fourth multi-point game of the season.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Peters On Home Ice: Stars forward Keaton Peters is second on the Stars with 10 goal and seven of them have come at the Ice Box, including each of his last four. Peters has not scored in his last three games, his longest stretch without a goal this season. Prior to last night he had scored in each of the last four home games.
Shots on Goal: The Force outshot the Stars 41-25 last night, including 21-10 in the second period. Lincoln is 6-2 when outshooting opponents but Fargo has not lost in regulation when being outshot, holding a 4-0-0-1 mark.
Ali Warming Up: Stars forward Brennan Ali recorded the secondary assist on Mangan's goal last night to pick up his third point in the last two games.
