Game Preview

Two teams peaking at the right time will lace up their skates this afternoon, as the Kalamazoo Wings host the Bloomington PrairieThunder. On the season, Kalamazoo is 6-4-0-1 versus Bloomington and are 4-1-0-1 at Wings Stadium.

A victory over Muskegon last night has pulled Kalamazoo within two points of the final playoff spot in the IHL. The K-Wings have won three of their last four contests, with their lone setback being a 3-2 lost last Saturday against the PrairieThunder.

Bloomington is red hot winning fourth straight and climbing to within six points of the playoffs. Today will conclude a three-game road trip for the Thunder, who will start a four-game home stand against both Port Huron and Muskegon next week.
