The Nailers scored seven goals this weekend and five of them came on the power play. So far this season Wheeling has 8 PPG in 36 chances (22.2%) which ranks them sixth in the ECHL and second among North Division teams.
Ned Havern, Paul Bissonnette and Sean Collins are all tied for the Nailer lead with 5 points.
