WALLEYE NOTES
Points in both over the weekend: Toledo had a 2-0 lead slip away in Fort Wayne in a 3-2 overtime loss on Friday night on the road before rebounding in a big way Saturday to best the Indy Fuel 4-2. The Walleye struck very early Saturday with Ben Storm scoring just 43 seconds into the contest which sent a record 3,601 teddy bears onto the ice in Toledo's annual Teddy Bear Toss night.
Quarter of the way through: Saturday night's game was the 18th of the season for the Walleye and that means Toledo is one-fourth of the way through the year with 30 points (14-2-2). Two years ago the Walleye had the most wins through 18 games of the year (15-3-0) and also had 30 points which is the most for any team in Toledo ECHL history (Storm and Walleye combined).
Monster November: Toledo ended the month of November with a record of 8-1-1. The most wins for a Walleye team in November was in 2014 when they posted 10 wins (10-2-1). Shane Berschbach led Toledo in scoring with 17 points (5G, 12A) over 10 November games while TJ Hensick finished with 14 points (3G, 11A). Pat Nagle went 5-1-0 with a 2.51 goals against average.
Stand them up: Another packed Huntington Center was on hand Saturday with 8,311 Walleye fans in the house. It was the fifth sellout in six home games for the Walleye this season pushing into second in average attendance this year at 7,679 per contest (sellout is 7,431 in downtown Toledo).
Four games in five days: Toledo has a busy week ahead with four games from Wednesday through Sunday against four different opponents. Wednesday morning the Cincinnati Cyclones will be in town. It the second meeting of the year after Toledo won a 4-3 game in overtime at Cincinnati on October 24. Friday night the Tulsa Oilers will be in Toledo. The two teams have only played three times ever with Toledo holding 2-1-0 advantage. Saturday night the Wheeling Nailers will visit the Huntington Center. Toledo is 2-0-0 vs. the Nailers this season.
