Flint Generals News Release


FLINT MI - It was a great weekend for the Flint Generals as they posted two wins and snapped out of a four-game winless streak.

GEN'S GEMS: The Flint Generals won just their second one-goal game of the season (2-2-0-4) and their second straight when a game has been tied after 40 minutes of play (2-1-0-1).

The Generals have outscored their opponents 48-27 (plus 21) after two periods this season but have since lowered the differential of goals for and against in the third period to minus 2, being outscored 20-18.
