NAHL Weekend Preview

November 3, 2017

As the calendar turns to November, it is starting to become crunch time for the first half of the season for the NAHL and its member teams.

 

With a quarter of the season already in the books, the standings watch is officially underway as teams have now had two months to adapt and get used to life in the NAHL.

 

Three of the four division leaders are in action this weekend.

 

In the Central Division, Brookings and Bismarck enter the weekend tied for the top spot and both are in action. The Bobcats will host the Austin Bruins for a pair of games, with the Bruins on a three-game skid and in last place. The Blizzard step outside of the division to face the Coulee Region Chill. The other divisional series features the Aberdeen Wings in Minot to face the Minotauros. The Wilderness will also play outside of the division as they host the Springfield Jr. Blues.

 

In the East Division, it is a pair of three game series, while Philadelphia has the weekend off. The 1st place Northeast Generals will host the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights for three games, while the New Jersey Titans travel to Johnstown for three games against the Tomahawks.

 

In the Midwest, the battle of Alaska resumes as Fairbanks is in Kenai River for a pair of games. The other big series features the surging Minnesota Magicians, who are in Janesville for a pair of games against the 1st place Jets.

 

In the South Division, Lone Star will finish their series in Amarillo against the Bulls on Friday night. The Bulls posted their 3rd straight shutout on Thursday in a 3-0 win over the Brahmas. In the other series, the Corpus Christi IceRays are in Topeka for the conclusion of their long roadtrip as they square off against the RoadRunners. Shreveport and Odessa are idle.
