WALLEYE NOTES

Christopoulos saves the Walleye to a pair of road wins: After a 4-2 loss at Cincinnati on Thursday night, Goaltender Billy Christopoulos posted 85 saves combined in Friday's 5-1 win over Fort Wayne and the 2-1 win at Cincinnati Saturday. The first year goaltender was the difference in both games starting with 45 saves vs. Komets which was a new season high.

Winning the Central Division: By taking two of the three games this past weekend Toledo has improved its record against the division to 24-8-4. Toledo is 8-0-0 against Fort Wayne, 6-2-0 vs. Cincinnati, 4-0-1 vs. Kalamazoo, 1-4-3 vs. Indy and 5-2-0 against Wheeling. The Walleye have just two games remaining against teams from outside the Central, this week vs. Brampton and March 14 vs. Wichita.

Getting it down when the wheels hit the pavement: With two more road wins this past weekend, Toledo improved its road record to 15-9-3 this season. The Walleye have outscored teams 97-81 in those contests. Only the South Carolina Stingrays (22) and Florida Everblades (17) have more road wins than the Walleye this year.

Four games in five days: It's a very busy week for the Walleye with four games in five days on the weekly slate. The Walleye four game road trip concludes Wednesday morning with a matchup in Brampton. Toledo is 3-1-0 vs. the Beast this season. Friday and Saturday night the Walleye welcome their arch rivals the Fort Wayne Komets. The Walleye just bested Fort Wayne this past weekend but the last two times they played in Toledo the games were decided by one goal. Sunday evening the Wheeling Nailers enter Toledo for the first meeting since a 4-1 Walleye loss on January 12.
