The Elmira Jackals look to earn revenge against the Wheeling Nailers tonight when the two clubs battle at WesBanco Arena at 7:35 p.m. The Nailers scored four unanswered goals on Wednesday night at First Arena to earn their first victory against the Jackals since Nov. 15, garnering a 4-1 win. Elmira leads Wheeling by three points for first place in the Atlantic Division entering tonight's action.
BELLAMY BURIES BEAUTIFUL GOAL
Although the Jackals registered just one goal on Wednesday, Rob Bellamy's fifth tally of the season was one to remember. The fourth-year pro from Westfield, Mass. took the puck at his blue line, gained speed through the neutral zone before splitting Wheeling defensemen in the slot, and then fired a puck past Peter Delmas for his first goal since Dec. 10. The strike marked the third time Bellamy gave the Jackals their first goal of a contest this season.
GAZLEY, LAROCQUE HELD SCORELESS
The point streaks of Dustin Gazley and Mario Larocque came to an end in the loss on Wednesday. Gazley entered the game on a season-high six-game point streak (3-8) while Larocque came into the contest on a season-best five-game assist streak (1-6).
