The Rampage claimed a 6-1 win over the Barons in the last meeting between the two clubs on Tuesday in San Antonio's fourth-annual "Cool School Education" game. Six different Rampage players lit the lamp in the victory and rookie Vincent Trocheck led the way with a goal and two assists. Trocheck leads the Rampage with five goals and four assists in five games against the Barons this season. Trocheck's linemate Bobby Butler isn't far behind, recording four goals and two assists in five games.

MOVEMBER NIGHT - Friday, Nov. 29 Several Rampage players have joined the "Movember" cause and have sported mustaches throughout the month of November to raise funds and awareness for cancers that affect men. The month- long initiative culminates with the team's first-ever "Movember Night" on Friday at 7:30 p.m. when the Rampage take on the Oklahoma City Barons at AT&T Center. The Rampage will be giving away 5,000 fake mustaches to fans in attendance in hopes of breaking the world record for the most mustaches at a sporting event. The game will also feature a Beard & Mustache competition and fans are encouraged to submit photos of their own mustaches to the club's Facebook page or by tagging @sarampage on Twitter or Instagram.

Fans can also donate to the cause by logging on to the team's "Movember" profile here.

The Rampage dropped a 4-2 decision to Toronto at home on Sunday to snap a five-game winning streak at AT&T Center.
