San Antonio Rampage News Release


THIS WEEK'S GAMES

Friday, Feb. 19 at Lake Erie Monsters

Quicken Loans Arena 6:00 p.m. (CT)

The Rampage are returning to a familiar arena when they head to Cleveland, Ohio to take on the Lake Erie Monsters. San Antonio has found success when visiting the Monsters, posting a 16-10-5-1 rec- ord. Friday's contest will be the first of four meetings with the Colum- bus Blue Jackets affiliate and the start of a back-to-back. Lake Erie is coming off a two-game series with the Texas Stars, where they dropped the first game 5-0 and fell in overtime 4-3 in the second.

Saturday, Feb. 20 at Lake Erie Monsters

Quicken Loans Arena, 6:00 p.m. (CT)

San Antonio returns to Quicken Loans Arena on Saturday to con- clude the two-game series with Lake Erie. The Rampage currently have eight wins against the Central Division this season with each coming from two-game series sweeps on the road over the Grand Rapids Griffins, Chicago Wolves, Iowa Wild and the Charlotte Check- ers. The weekend's games should prove to be an exciting series when San Antonio's eighth-ranked power play unit goes toe-to-toe with the Monster's third-ranked penalty kill unit.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME: With the affiliation change in the 2015-16 season, the Colorado Avalanche moved their AHL roster from Lake Erie to San Antonio. Fri- day's game will be the first time that the former Monster players will return to the arena that they spent many seasons playing in. Andrew Agozzino, Joey Hishon, Colin Smith, and Patrick Bordeleau will all be familiar faces to the Monsters' fan base.

Agozzino was Lake Erie's leading scorer for three years in a row, tallying 67 goals and 165 points in a Monster sweater. Hishon bagged 27 goals and 66 points in his three seasons with Lake Erie, while Smith collected 20 goals and 65 points in two.

Perhaps the most familiar Rampage player would be Bordeleau who made 216 total appearances throughout five different seasons with the Monsters, dating back to the 2008-09 season.

ROOKIE RECORDS: Goaltender Spencer Martin recorded 50 saves last night in the Rampage's 5-1 loss to the Stockton Heat. Martin ties San Jose's Aaron Dell for the most saves recorded in a single game this season. The individual game-high set by Martin comes during his first start since Jan. 24 against the Texas Stars.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Mar. 4, 2016 vs. Manitoba 7:30 p.m.

The San Antonio Rampage return home from their annual Rodeo Road Trip to host Military Appreciation Night, presented by On Time Elmer. The Rampage will wear a special military-themed jersey, as the Silver and Black show their appreciation and gratitude for those who serve. Active duty military members and veterans will receive 50% off tickets.

ICE CHIPS: Maxim Noreau - Rampage Defenseman Since the start of February, defenseman Maxim Noreau has been one of the biggest weapons on the ice for the Rampage. Dating back to their contest with the Texas Stars on Feb. 5, Noreau has collected two goals and six assists, while registering a +3 plus/minus ratio. Noreau is currently tied for fourth amongst AHL defensemen in scoring and is tied for first with seven pow- er play goals. The Montreal native is a focal point of the Ram- page's power play unit and is tied for the second most points on the team with Colin Smith.
