WALLEYE NOTES
Kotyk game-winner nets Toledo a road win: The Walleye had just two games last week with both being in Kansas City. Defenseman Brenden Kotyk scored with 2:11 left in Wednesday's game to send the Walleye to a 4-3 win. A similar final score was produced on Friday but it was the Mavericks who held the winning edge 5-3 despite a two goal effort from Jordan Topping.
Defensemen run the game: Toledo used offense from its defensemen to take the game on Wednesday. The last three goals scored in the game were by defensemen (Crawford, Danford and Kotyk). Matt Register also posted a pair of helpers in the game for the Walleye. Toledo has four defensemen this season that have reached double digits in points with Register leading the league in scoring for blue liners at 42 points (11G, 31A).
One goals are king to the Walleye: Toledo has a record of 18-2-4-3 this year in games decided by a single goal including Wednesday's 4-3 win. The 18 wins leads the ECHL in that category (Idaho is second with 16 one goal wins).
Divisional week ahead: Toledo has four games this week and all four are against different Central Division rivals. Wednesday, the Walleye travel into Michigan to take on the Kalamazoo Wings. Toledo has a 6-0-2 record against the KWings. Friday night starts a three-in-three home weekend with the Wheeling Nailers, a team Toledo is 3-2-0 against this year. Saturday night, the Walleye will look for their sixth win of the year against the Fort Wayne Komets (5-1-2) before wrapping up the weekend with the Indy Fuel on Sunday (4-1-1).
