What You Talkin’ About Willis

With his next penalty, forward Tyler Willis will eclipse the 3,000 penalty minute plateau in his career. The 3,000 PIMS are the equivalent to sitting in the penalty box for 50 games.

It’s Not Delivery, It’s Detulleo

Forward Glenn Detulleo has been in a giving mood this season. Detulleo, who leads the league in assists with 55, has established a new personal career-high for points in a season with 72.  

Good After One

When the K-Wings hold a lead after one period of play, they usually win. Kalamazoo is 19-2-2-3 when holding a lead at the start of the second period.

 

Snapping a Streak

Kalamazoo enters the night looking to snap a six-game winless streak. The K-Wings are 0-2-3-1 during the current stretch.
