GAME NOTES

Three Keys To The Game Presented By Nebraska Department Of Transportation

Key 1: Win The Special Teams Battle

- The Stars enter tonight's game with the top power-play in the USHL while the Fighting Saints have the league's top penalty kill. Lincoln has scored on the man advantage in back-to-back games after a 2-for-3 effort last weekend and has twice scored multiple power-play goals in a game (Sep. 21, 3-for-5 vs. Green Bay and Oct. 18, 2-for-4 at Youngstown). Dubuque's three-game streak of zero power-play goals allowed came to an end on Tuesday when it surrendered two goals in six shorthanded instances.

Key 2: Beasts Against The East

- Lincoln is 5-1 against Eastern Conference opponents this season. It's only cross-conference loss came in the second game of the season, Sep. 21, with a 3-1 loss to Cedar Rapids. Since then, the Stars have rattled off four straight wins against the East.

Key 3: Light The Lamp

- The Stars have scored at least three goals in each of their last nine games but have not scored five times in a game since Sep. 28. That marked the third time in the first four games that Lincoln lit the lamp at least five times. The Stars' 43 goals are tied for third-most in the USHL.
