Checkers this past week
Feb 21 @Binghamton L 2-1 Ned with the loss. Kaski with the goal.
Feb 22 @Binghamton W 6-3 Forsberg with the win (42 saves). Joey Keane, Lorentz x2, Bishop, Bean, and Kaski with the goals.
The very new look Checkers play 4 road games this week. Tue/Sun at Hershey and Fri/Sat at Lehigh Valley.
Checkers added 2 ECHL forwards via PTOs, 26 year old Blake Winiecki and 27 year old Mark Cooper. Not surprising with Gauthier, Kuokkanen and Luostarinen all dealt by the Canes with no AHL forwards coming back. Checkers are 4th in their division with games in hand. It will be interesting to see how they do with Booth and Helvig and no Priskie, Kuokkenan or Luostarinen. Hershey is the best team in the AHL Eastern conference, Lehigh Valley is one of the worst.
