Power Outage

Feels Like the First Time

Defenseman Zach McCullough found the perfect time to register his first pro goal. The second-year blue-liner scored the game-winner during the K-Wings' come-from-behind 4-3 overtime victory last Sunday versus the Allen Americans.

Nearing a Milestone

Kalamazoo's Eric Kattelus is closing in on a personal milestone. Kattelus is just two assists shy of 100 in his career.
