SHOTS FROM THE POINT 08-09

NOT YO MOMMA'S RAMPAGE: San Antonio continues to surge in the West- ern Conference. The Rampage are 13-5-0-0 since December including 9-2-0-0 at home and 4-3-0-0 on the road.

HOGGAN'S HEROICS: Last week captain Jeff Hoggan set the franchise re- cord with a goal in six straight games. The Hope, B.C. native tallied seven goals with three on the power play, two empty netters and a game-winner as the Rampage went 4-2-0-0 posting a 3-2-0-0 road record.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN: When the Rampage began a stretch of six road games in seven contests, they had not won a single game away from the AT&T Center. After a win in Chicago last week, the Rampage finished 4-2-0-0.

THIRD TIME IS THE CHARM: While the Rampage are 13-5-0-0 since Decem- ber, none of those losses have come when San Antonio scores at least three goals. They scored a single goal in four of those contests. During that run, the Rampage have only won two games when scoring two goals or less.

BROKEN RECORD: David Spina and Joel Perrault continue to make things happen. Perrault has points in four straight including a game-winning goal against Milwaukee in OT last Friday. Spina has points in six straight including a five-game assist streak, one away from tying the franchise record.

ICE CHIPS: Brett MacLean

Last week rookie forward Brett MacLean was named to the Team Canada roster for the AHL All-Star Classic. The 21- year old from London, Ontario has ranked near the top of the Rampage leader board all season. Currently, Brett has 11 goals and 11 assists and scored the game winner last week in Chicago.

MacLean was the 3rd choice in the 2nd round (32nd overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Phoenix Coyotes.
