The RiverKings today placed defenseman Stephen Margeson on the 45-day IR and activated defenseman Nick Fouts from the 45-day IR.

THE SERIES

The RiverKings and Steelhounds play the second of their three-game set in Ohio's Mahoning Valley tonight. Memphis spoiled Youngstown's kids game on Wednesday to the tune of 6-2 and, in the process, took over sole possession of second place in the Northeast Division. A four-goal second period, Taras Foremsky's two goals and four assists from Derek Landmesser did the trick. The RiverKings are 3-0 this season against the expansion Steelhounds; outscoring them 15-6. The teams play again tomorrow night at the Chevy Centre at 6:05 CST.

RIVERKINGS HERE AND THERE

Forward Ryan Watson is on career high 5 game assist and point streaks (1-8-9)

Defenseman Derek Landmesser's 4 assists in Wednesday's game was a personal and team season high. His career high is 5 assists versus Laredo on 1/29/05.

Wednesday's win was the RiverKings' first road win since 12/30, a 3-2 OTW at Tulsa.

The RiverKings have not won back to back games since that win at Tulsa on 12/30. They have not won back to back road games this season.

Forward Taras Foremsky matched a career high with his two goals on Wednesday. It is the third time in his 4 year career that he has scored twice in a game.

Don Parsons has a 5 game point streak (6-2-8) and has had at least 1 point in 13 of his last 15 games (12-14-26).
