JACKALS SPLIT WEEK, DONATI REACHES 50
The Jackals went 2-2 last week, getting road wins at Reading and Johnstown before falling at home to Trenton and Reading.
Jackals rookie forward Justin Donati became the ECHL's first player in 2009-2010 to reach 50 points when he scored a goal in the third period against Trenton on Friday night. Donati has 34 assists and 52 points near the season's halfway point to lead the league. Last week, he led the league with 10 points (4g-6a) while posting a +4.
