Bryan Marshall scored his 20th goal of the year on a Alex Foster pass to start the Wings off with a 1-0 lead. Green Bay scored the next two goals before Jeremy Hall lifted to game back into a tie heading into the thrid period where Tomas Klempa netted the game winner halfway through the period. Justin Tobe was great in net stopping 26 of 28 shots. Saturday night was a different story has the league leading Tri City Storm came into town.

Coaches Corner

Welcome back to David Palmer Arena for another exciting night of Danville Wings hockey. Tonight we are hosting the Tri-City Storm who as of this writing are tied for first in the West division with 61 points. The Wings on the other hand are winners of 2 straight (hopefully 3 straight with our game last night against Green Bay) after dropping 11 in a row. We hope to keep the momentum alive against a tough Storm squad. The Wings hosted St. Louis on Wednesday evening and came away with a solid 5-0 shutout of the Eagles. Andrew Panchenko scored two second period goals to finish of St. Louis. Jeremy Hall, Bryan Marshall, and Ryan Hoehn scored for us as well. Justin Tobe stopped 16 of 16 shots for his league-leading 4 shutout of the year.

Tonight will be a tough test for us as we host a hot Tri-City team. The Storm are winners of 6 of their last 9 games and are tied with River City for the most points in the USHL. The Storm is paced by Bill Thomas (45 points) and Ratislav Spirko (42 points) offensively and has two very capable goaltenders in Peter Mannino (12-7-0) and Eric Aarnio (12-3-5). Over the last five games the Wings have been paced by forwards Travis Winter (1G, 4A); Jeremy Hall (3G); Bryan Marshall (1G, 3A); Derek Patrosso (3G); and Alex Foster (3A). Justin Tobe has been strong in net allowing 1 goal in his last two starts.

The Wings will be back home next week Wednesday to face the St. Louis Heartland Eagles once again. We will then take on division leader Chicago Steel on Friday night at the Palmer Arena before traveling back to Green Bay on February 21st.

As always thank you for your continued support and hope we will see you at the Palmer Arena soon- Coaching Staff.
