HENDERSON, N.V. – The Henderson Silver Knights will look to rebound in the second game of their back-to-back after yesterday’s 2-0 loss to the Milwaukee Admirals. The team will also celebrate Thunder Knight and honor the IHL’s Las Vegas Thunder. Puck drop is set for 3 p.m. PT.
GET RIGHT GAME
Although the Silver Knights dominated the possession and shot game in Friday’s matchup, outshooting the Admirals 34 to 21, Henderson was shut out for the second time in as many games. The team looks to channel that frustration into tonight’s results.
“It’s a results business,” said Head Coach Ryan Craig after Friday’s game. “We can be happy with our structure, we can be happy with things we’ve done, but we have to find a way to score a goal.”
“Ultimately we’ve got to find a way to put the puck in the net,” added forward Mason Morelli. “So hopefully we can figure that out tomorrow.”
BEHIND ENEMY LINES
- Defenseman Marc Del Gaizo tallied two points (0G, 2A) in Friday’s game against the Silver Knights. With 19 points (5G, 14A) in 27 games played, he leads all Admirals defenseman in scoring.
