Tri-City (9-10-0-2) returns to action tonight following last night's thrilling home game against the Omaha Lancers. The Storm fell behind by three goals through the opening forty minutes of the matchup before erasing the 3-0 deficit in the 3rd period.

Tri-City set a new season high for most shots on goal during a single game with 49 in last night's contest. The Storm's single-game season high for most shots on net during the 2021-2022 season was 46 on March 5th, 2022, in the team's 8-0 home victory over the Lincoln Stars at the Viaero Center. Scoring leaders entering tonight's road game for the Storm include Evan Werner (13), Kieran Cebrian (8), Sebastian Törnqvist (6), Graham Gamache (5), and Tanner Adams (5).

The second game of the weekend series will be hosted by the Storm at the Viaero Center on Saturday, December 17th. The game will serve as the organization's annual Teddy Bear Toss Game.
