After a day off for Thanksgiving, the Prowlers and Hat Tricks are back in action for a two-game weekend set. Port Huron's three-games-in-four-nights stretch is all at home while Danbury's is all on the road.
On Wednesday, the Prowlers won a low-scoring affair against the Motor City Rockers 2-1. Matt Graham broke a third-period tie and Joel Frazee netted his first with Port Huron while Valtteri Nousiainen made 29 saves in the win. That pushed the Prowlers to 6-6-2 with 18 points and strengthened their hold on third place in the Empire Division.
The Hat Tricks were in Binghamton on Thanksgiving eve and they fell in a close 3-2 contest. Khaden Henry scored twice in the first to give the Black Bears a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Vadim Frolov and Chase Harwell scored the goals for Danbury while Connor McCollum took the loss after a 19-save performance. The Hat Tricks sit right behind Port Huron in the Empire Division's fourth spot with a 4-5-3 record and 14 points.
