Henderson Silver Knights News Release


HENDERSON, N.V - The Silver Knights will take on the Tucson Roadrunners, who are seventh in the Pacific Division, in a single-game homestand on Wednesday evening. The Knights will look to bounce back after dropping two games to the first-place Calgary Wranglers.

"Our line [Quinney-Manninen-Rempal] is playing well together right now. I don't want there to be any quit in the team, in us. We're just trying to put our best foot forward," said Sheldon Rempal.

He also broke down some of what he thought went wrong in the team's games against the Wranglers last weekend.

"I think we were a little bit too relaxed in the first two periods. It was too late and we got into some penalty trouble there at the end. We couldn't solve it to tie it."

The Silver Knights dropped their last two games against the Roadrunners, a back-to-back series on February 18 and February 19.

LAST TIME OUT

The Henderson Silver Knights dropped a two-game series against the Calgary Wranglers on March 29 and March 31. They lost the first contest 5-3 and the second 5-1. Sheldon Rempal, Daniil Miromanov, and Daniil Chayka all scored that weekend.
