According to Nearhos Moon is drawing back in with Knight recalled.

Sounds like Reinhart won't be back in time for tonight's game.

Ya, that's too bad. Kind of a bummer they have to play this one without Knight or Reinhart considering they're in the middle of a winning streak.

some rough looking lines for tonight.

[Drury18]

Well, much like the big Flames, time for the character guys on the Baby Flames to step up and have big nights to win this one.

Not a bad test for them either.

I like Koekkoek's name.

[sureLoss]

I believe Sieloff and Koekkoek were a pairing in Windsor

[Drury18]

I'm glad I'm not calling this game. There's some unique names on this team.

Ortio had to make a quick save there. Turnover, quick breakaway by the Crunch and Ortio was alert and made the save.

[Drury18]

Flames going to the PP as Cote is called for what looks like hooking.

Edit: It was holding, not hooking.

[Caged Great]

Flames going to the PP.
