Macon skated away with a hard-fought 3-1 victory. League-leader in points, John Siemer, scored his eighth goal of the season. Goaltender Garrett Bartus saved 35 of the 36 shots he faced. The Mayhem extended their win streak to nine games. The Cottonmouths lost last night 4-1 against the Mississippi RiverKings.

ALL-TIME SERIES: The Mayhem are 8-1-2 all-time against Columbus. Last season, Macon went 7-1-1 against the Cottonmouths, and they are 1-0-1 this season vs. the Snakes.

SCOUTING THE SNAKES: Columbus is lead offensively by Riley Spraggs, who has 10 points (4 goals, 6 assists). Expected in net is Brandon Jaeger, who is 2-5-0 this season with a 3.01 GAA and a .919 SV%. The Cottonmouths ranks 9th in power play percentage and last in shots against. They do, however, rank 4th in goals against.

BUILDING A WALL: The Mayhem average the fewest goals against in the league (2.00). The team has two of the best goaltenders in the league. Garrett Bartus is 6-1-1 with a GAA of 1.98 and a SV% of .940, while Jordan Ruby is 4-0-0, a 1.99 GAA, and a .938 SV%.

YOUNG GUNS: John Siemer has recorded a point in 10 of the team's 12 games this season, while Collin MacDonald has 10 points in his last six games. Those two players are both in the top three of the league in scoring.

A LOOK TO THE FUTURE: Next week, the Mayhem and FireAntz will play a home-and-home, with Fayetteville travelling to Macon on Friday before returning to the Crown Coliseum on Saturday.
