Home cooking: The Toledo Walleye have found their groove, kicking off March with five straight home victories. That stretch is the longest home winning streak of the season for the Fish. The Walleye took six of eight home games over the last three weeks, helping to boost their division-lead back up to 11 points over Wheeling and Indy.
Sending missiles: Forward Brandon Kruse has been sending pucks into the slot lately for his teammates, tallying four assists over his last three games. Kruse has had five points (1G, 4A) over his last five games.
