PINS - Jason Pineo has goals in three-straight games and four markers in his last six. He is tied for second with three shorthanded goals.
50 PLUS - Trevor Gorsuch has made at least 47 saves in two of his last three appearances. He stopped 50 shots on February 4 and followed that up with 47 saves on February 8. Over the last three games, he has a 2.84 goals-against average and .933 save percentage.
SPECIAL - Jay Dickman has three points in his last four games. The veteran forward is tied for second in the league with 10 power play goals. Dickman equaled his total output on the man advantage from last season.
200 - Brayden Watts and Jake Wahlin are both nearing 200 ECHL games. Watts sits at 199 entering the week while Wahlin is at 190 games played in the ECHL.
