STORM NOTES

* First Week Without Pointing! Following back-to-back losses to Dayton and Reading over the weekend, the Storm finished a week without a point for the first time this season. The losses dropped Toledo from its perch atop the ECHL North Division (tied for third with Johnstown).

* Magnificent Mags! Ken Magowan collected the Storm's first 3-goal game of the season Friday night in a 5-3 loss at Dayton. The first two goals Ken scored were deflections, and the third was a backhand past Dayton goaltender Adam Berkhoel.

* Power Play! The Storm Power Play has gone five consecutive games without scoring. For the season, Toledo has scored 16 power play goals in 158 chances (10.1%), which ranks 24th in the ECHL.

* Penalty Kill! The Penalty Kill Unit has stopped 134 of 159 times they have been shorthanded (84.9%). That ranks 8th among all ECHL teams.

STORM WATCH
