HENDERSON, N.V – The Silver Knights will take on the San Diego Gulls, who are tenth in the Pacific Division, in a two-game series on Friday and Saturday. The Knights are looking to bounce back after their six-game winning streak was snapped by a 6-3 loss to the Coachella Valley Firebirds.

“We created so many opportunities, we just didn’t finish on a lot of them,” said Head Coach Manny Viveiros. 

“We have to do that. When we played with discipline, we created opportunities from playing the right way. When we fell asleep, they capitalized on it.” 

The Silver Knights have been battling back towards the final playoff spot in the Pacific Division. Before the loss against the Firebirds, they had strung together six straight quality wins – including a game against upcoming opponent San Diego. Coach Viveiros sees this as an opportunity to re-focus on the path to the playoffs. 

“It’s good for us to reset again and zero in on how difficult it is and how disciplined we have to be at this time of year. We’re going to move on, we’re going to learn from it, and we’re going to get ready to play San Diego.”   

LAST TIME OUT 

The Henderson Silver Knights fell to the Coachella Valley Firebirds on the road, 6-3. Sheldon Rempal, Brendan Brisson, and Daniil Miromanov all scored goals for Henderson.
