THE MATCH UP

The RiverKings continue their final road trip of the season tonight in an arena where they have never won. Memphis is 0-3-0 at the LEC and 2-5-0 overall since the Bucks entered the league in 2002-2003. Earlier this season in Laredo on November 5, the RiverKings and Bucks were tied at three entering the third period, but the Bucks scored three in the third for a 6-3 win. On January 14 at the DCC, the Bucks jumped out early on their way to a 6-1 win. The RiverKings are coming off a 5-3 loss last night at Corpus Christi and are in third place in the Northeast Division. The Bucks, meanwhile, have clinched the Southeast Division and are coming off a sweep of Southwest Division leading Odessa last weekend. The RiverKings will get forward Paul Mcbrien back tonight after serving his two game league suspension.
