IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR...

The Jackals ended last season on a four-game winning streak against the Nailers but have dropped all three contests to Wheeling this season. Two of Wheeling's three wins against Elmira have come in overtime, and all three games have been tied or within a goal in the final minute of regulation. The Jackals are 19-9-3-0 all-time against the Nailers, while Wheeling is 12-18-0-1 all-time against Elmira.
COUSINEAU HAS STRONG WEEK
Despite going 1-3 this past week, Marco Cousineau had a strong four-game effort. The rookie from Brossard, Quebec posted a save percentage of .922 and a goals-against average of 2.56 in three games against Trenton and one against Reading.
