THE MATCH UP

The RiverKings and Mudbugs play for the second time this week and, including tonight, will meet three times in the next eight days in games that could go a long way in deciding the fate of the Northeast Division. The RiverKings defeated Bossier-Shreveport 4-1 before over 7,700 in the Face Off Field Trip game on Tuesday for their 10th straight win. The last time the RiverKings lost was exactly a month ago at the CenturyTel Center, 4-2 on 12/26. The RiverKings lead the Mudbugs by 12 points in the division race and are 4-2-1 so far in the 11 game season series, 1-2-0 in Bossier City. The RiverKings are 15-2-0 in their last 17 games while the Mudbugs have gone 12-2-2 in their last 16 games. New defenseman Doug MacIver will make his RiverKings debut tonight. The fifth year pro was acquired from the Austin Ice Bats on Monday and officially signed a contract yesterday.
