Jayme Filipowicz remains on re-call to St. John. Five ‘Gades have played in the AHL this season. The ‘Gades have not allowed a power play goal in their last six wins. They have allowed 16 power play goals in their last five losses. Richmond has lost their last three overtime/shootout decisions after winning their first seven. The eight goals surrendered at Roanoke is the most since a 9-2 loss at Cincinnati last January. Jon Zion, Jamie Herrington, and Dan Lombard will represent the ‘Gades at the All Star Game Tuesday. Richmond is 0-10-2 in their last 12 games vs. Northeast Division opponents. The ‘Gades fell from fifth in the league in penalty killing to 12th following the loss at Roanoke. Richmond took just one minor penalty for two minutes in the win over Wheeling, then had a season high 60 PIM in the loss at Roanoke. The ‘Gades are fourth in the ECHL in fewest shots allowed and tied four fourth in shorthanded goals with 10. Jon Zion and Brad Church have points in three straight games.
