OTHER NOTES
ROAD WOES CONTINUE
The Pride wrap up their seven-game road trip with a pair of games this week. It has been a rough road for the Pride so far, as they are just 1-4-0 through the first five games. They have scored a total of just 11 goals in the five games.
CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR
The Pride have struggled in one-goal games this season, posting a 6-8-5 record in such games this season. Of the Pride's six wins by one goal, just one has come in regulation (January 7 v. Augusta). Three of Pee Dee's four losses on their seven-game road trip have been by just one goal. Last season, the Pride excelled in one-goal games, posting a 20-8-6 record.
NO REST FOR THE WEARY
After playing just two games the last two weeks, the Pride's schedule will be a whole lot busier in the next two weeks. Starting with Tuesday's game at Greenville, the Pride will play nine games in a 13 day span.
