HENDERSON, N.V – The Silver Knights will wrap up their season against the Ontario Reign, who are sixth in the Pacific Division, in a two-game home-and-home series on Friday and Saturday evening.
“I felt pretty good. I definitely didn’t feel out of place out there. It’s faster than what I’m used to, but I felt pretty comfortable in the end there,” said goaltender Jesper Vikman, who made his first career professional start.
“I’m happy that I got the experience to try a professional game this year and get ready for what’s coming.”

Goaltender Jesper Vikman made his first professional start in net.
