The Rampage welcome Grand Rapids back to the AT&T Center to wrap up the season series with the Griffins. San Antonio has been the Central Division-leader's kryptonite this season, posting a 3-0-0- 0 record, two of which are shutouts, and outscoring the Griffins 9-2.

Grand Rapids held a 13-game win streak, which ranked only second to their 15-game win streak earlier in the season, going into Sunday's contest. The Silver and Black brought the Griffins' streak to a screeching halt with a 2-0 shutout for their ninth win at the AT&T Center.

ICE CHIPS: Sam Henley - Rampage Center

Rampage center, Sam Henley, has been the driving force of the Rampage offense over the past two games. The 6-foot-5 lefty has recorded his first goal streak and point streak of the season when he lit the lamp against Ontario on Mar. 18, and hit the game-w inning goal on Sunday evening. Henley's game winner came early in the first period when he found himself on a breakaway during his penalty kill shift. The Quebec native went high glove side on the Griffins' goaltender and registered his first professional shorthanded goal.
