Henderson Silver Knights News Release


HENDERSON, N.V. - The Henderson Silver Knights will continue their homestand with a contest against the Coachella Valley Firebirds. The division-leading Firebirds head into this evening's game after a loss to the Calgary Wranglers, while the Silver Knights look to build momentum off of Friday's 4-2 win over the Bakersfield Condors. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. PT.

CRACKS ON THE ATTACK

Forward Adam Cracknell took charge against the Bakersfield Condors in his first game on home ice since January 27. He tallied a goal and two assists to help secure a victory over the team's divisional rival as the Silver Knights continue to make a crucial playoff push.

"I think we just moved the puck quickly," he said after Friday's game. "A lot of our goals came off the rush, obviously...something that we've worked on recently. To get goals how we did, being hard on pucks and finally getting rewarded, it's big for a lot of guys and their confidence. It's something that we have to learn from and carry into the next 24 hours here.
