Walleye Notes

0 One Up, One Down Week! Toledo played one of its best games all season long Friday night, taking down Cincinnati 4-0 on Friday night at the Huntington Center. For the first time this season the Walleye lost a game in regulation when heading to the third period with a lead as the Komets struck three times in the final period to beat Toledo 3-2 Saturday night.

0 Road Streak Comes to a Close! Saturday's loss at Fort Wayne ended the new Toledo ECHL record nine consecutive games unbeaten on the road (8-0-1-0). The run started with a 5-4 overtime win in Fort Wayne on December 14.

0 Still the Best of All-Time! Despite the loss Saturday, Toledo has tied the record for the most points (61) through 40 games by any Toledo ECHL team in history. The 1991-92 Storm team had a record of 30-9-1 (61 points) through 40 contests. The 2002-03 Toledo Storm team that had a record of 27-7-6 (60 points) through their first 40 games.

0 Conway the Shutout! Friday night was the third shutout picked up by the Walleye this season as Neil Conway made 22 saves in the 4-0 win over Cincinnati. It was the first shutout of the year for Conway and his first in the ECHL. The native of Concord, Ohio played for Elmira last year. Goaltender Jeff Lerg has the posted other two Toledo shutouts.

0 Defense Shines! Through 40 games this year, the Walleye have allowed a league low 104 goals against, which breaks down to 2.60 per contest. Only Ontario (2.48) allows fewer goals per game than the Walleye. Over the last 17 games, the Walleye have been especially stingy allowing just 34 totals goals (2.00 per game).
