DID YOU KNOW?
Elmira has not gone two games without taking a point since Jan. 16 and 17 in regulation losses to Reading and Wheeling.
A NEW RECORD
With two goals last night, Tyler Donati set a new Jackals record for points in one season. The previous record holder was Randy Murphy, who recorded 93 points in the 2002-2003 campaign.
Both of Tyler's goals were crucial in the Jackals earning a point against the Cyclones. His first tied the game late in the second period, while his second was the goal that forced overtime in the third period.
TRYING TO WIN AGAIN ON ROAD
Dating back to Jan. 22, the Jackals have won seven-straight road games. At one point this season, the Jackals went through a 2-11-0-1 stretch away from First Arena, but now the Jackals have the ECHL's fifth-best road record at 15-13-0-1. Since having an overall road record of 5-11-0-1, Elmira is 10-2-0-0 in away games. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
