The Wings will return home to the Wells Fargo Center to face the Toronto Rock on Saturday, April, 2 at 7 p.m.

Wray was released by the Wings earlier this month due to commitments at Lehigh University where he serves as an Assistant Coach.

The Wings (4-7) are currently fifth in the NLL Eastern Division. The team is fourth in the league on the power play, converting on 42% of its chances, and eighth on the penalty kill, successfully defending 58% of its opponent's opportunities.
