Curadeau, Cleaver and Daavettila Return

The K-Wings will get a boost in the lineup tonight, as forwards Rick Cleaver, Mathieu Curadeau and Trent Daavettila are set to return. Cleaver was returned today from Springfield, Curadeau has been activated off the IR and Daavettila was returned earlier in the week from Adirondack.

Grevious Added

Earlier today, the K-Wings added goaltender Justin Grevious as their emergency goaltender to replace Ryan Nie, who was loaned to the Houston Aeros. Grevious has played the past two seasons in the AAHA with the Battle Creek Revolution.

On a Roll

Defensemen Jon Landry is riding a four-game point streak. The four-game streak ties Landry with Ryan McGinnis, who is on loan with the Norfolk Admirals, for the longest current point streak by a K-Wing.

 

Home Sweet Home

The K-Wings have won six straight at Wings Stadium. The six-game home winning streak is a season-high for Kalamazoo.
