LOVELAND, C.O. – The Henderson Silver Knights will look to snap the Colorado Eagles’ win streak and battle back after a 4-0 loss on Friday evening. Puck drop is set for 6:05 p.m. PT. 

PATERA STANDS TALL 

Although the Silver Knights didn’t come away with a win on Friday night, Head Coach Ryan Craig commended the effort and compete that he saw from goaltender Jiri Patera.  

“His compete was through the roof, and he has competed for us all year,” said Craig after Friday’s game. “He hung in there when they got the [deflection goal] early and we don’t get underneath a stick. Then we don’t stay up on a forecheck and it leads to a puck going through us and it ends up on the back door. So none of the goals were his fault. We give up those chances and we had to open up a little bit chasing the game. That’s how they end up with four [goals].
