THIS WEEK'S GAMES

Saturday, Nov. 10 vs. Toronto Marlies

AT&T Center, 7:00 p.m.

The Rampage continue the homestand with their third-straight tilt at AT&T Center on Saturday night against the Marlies, who will be making their only trip of the season to the Alamo City. The Rampage defeated Toronto in both meetings between the two teams last season. The Silver and Black beat the Marlies, 6-1, at AT&T Center early last season and earned a 5-4 overtime victory in Toronto last year with defenseman Colby Robak tallying the game winner in overtime. The game will mark the Marlies third game in as many days, as they square off against Houston on Thursday and Texas on Friday before arriving to AT&T Center for Saturday's tilt.

FACE-OFF AGAINST KIDS CANCER NIGHT - Nov. 10: The Rampage will celebrate their fourth season of Face-Off Against Kids Cancer by wearing a specialty jersey when they take on the Toronto Marlies at 7 p.m. at AT&T Center. Proceeds will benefit Face- Off against Kids Cancer and the Centers for Oncology and Blood Disorders at Christus Santa Rosa. Join us in the fight against children's cancer!

COOL SCHOOL EDUCATION DAY - Nov. 13: The third-annual Cool School Education Day will combine a Rampage student workbook and in-game elements to provide students with educational support in an unforgettable way. More than 8,000 kids are expected to attend the hockey field trip.

KZEP DOLLAR DRINK NIGHT - Nov. 16: Every Friday fans can get $1 draft beer and $1 fountain soda. HOME COOKIN': After dropping their Home Opener on Oct. 13, the Rampage have won four straight games at AT&T Center for a 4-1-0-0 record in five games. San Antonio's success at home is coming at an opportune time, as the Herd play a season-high nine home games in the month of November.

BETWEEN THE PIPES: Goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris recorded his second shutout in five starts on Sunday afternoon, as the Rampage blanked Oklahoma City, 2-0. Grumet- Morris owns a 1.19 goals-against average and a 0.961 save percentage, both of which are good for third place in the league. In his five starts, Grumet-Morris has allowed only six goals and has a 2-2-1 record.

STILL KILLING IT: The Rampage penalty kill currently sits in third place in the AHL, going 43-for-46 (93.5%) through nine games. In the Silver and Black's two games over the weekend, San Antonio held opponents to a combined 0-for-9 on the power play.

DOWN TO THE WIRE: Of San Antonio's nine games this season, six have been decided by one goal, with the Rampage owning a 3-2-0-1 record in such contests. Two goals have decided eight of San Antonio's nine games this season (4-3-0-1).

ICE CHIPS: Jon Rheault - Forward

Forward Jon Rheault recorded three points in San Antonio's pair of victories over the weekend. In Friday's 3-2 win over Grand Rapids, Rheault scored his first goal of the season and also added the team's first shorthanded goal of the year in the victory. His multi- goal effort marked the first time this season a Rampage player lit the lamp twice in one game. Rheault recorded an assist on the game-winning goal while on the power play in Sunday's 2-0 win over Oklahoma City.

A native of Arlington, Texas, Rheault played the last two seasons for the Abbotsford Heat, recording 28 goals and 39 assists in 126 games. An injury sidelined Rheault for a considerable part of last season, but he still managed to post a career-high 16 goals in 47 games. Rheault was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fifth round (145th overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
