TEAM NOTES
BACK ON THE WAGON
The Steelheads hit the ice once more this week after ice issues at Idaho Central Arena forced the postponement of three games against the Rapid City Rush last week. Wednesday morning’s game at Wichita will mark Idaho’s first game this month, and first in 12 days since a 4-1 loss to the Allen Americans on Oct. 30 in Frisco. The Steelheads will look to shake off a four-game skid and grab their first win since Oct. 18, which came in a Sunday matinee against the New Mexico Goatheads.
A BOLT TO THE LINEUP
Defenseman Jake Boltmann is back with the Steelheads after being loaned from the San Jose Barracuda on Tuesday. Boltmann returns to Idaho after skating in 54 games for the Steelheads last year, collecting 17 points (1G, 16A). The blueliner has skated in one game for the Barracuda this year after signing an AHL contract with the club this past offseason.
BOLSTERING THE BLUE LINE
Idaho hit the trade market for extra help along the blue line, acquiring defenseman Caleb Price from the Greensboro Gargoyles for future considerations. Price, 26, comes to Idaho in the midst of his second ECHL season, with a total of 24 ECHL games under his belt. Last year, he collected five points (1G, 4A) in 20 games with Greensboro and the Norfolk Admirals, skating in 10 games for each team.
TRENDS
- The Steelheads have lost four straight games after a series sweep over New Mexico to begin the season.
- Idaho was outshot 27-6 over the third period in last week's two games.
- The Steelheads have now been outshot 85-57 in third periods this season.
