Game Preview

For the final time this year, the Kalamazoo Wings will battle the Bloomington PrairieThunder. The K-Wings won in their last visit to the U.S. Cellular Coliseum 3-1 last weekend. On the season, Kalamazoo is 9-4-0-1 against Bloomington and are 4-3-0-0 at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum.

Including today, the K-Wings have four games remaining in the regular season. Earning a point in an overtime loss last night to Port Huron, Kalamazoo has now pulled to within two points of the Muskegon Fury for fourth place and four points of the Flint Generals for third.

Eliminated from playoff contention on Friday, Bloomington has quickly adapted to their new role as spoiler. The Thunder rolled for four goals in a span of 35 seconds in the opening period en route to a 9-4 victory last night against Flint.
