After losing their first four games at home, the Rampage have righted the ship, winning their last three games, all on the road. They will face off against the Ontario Reign this afternoon, hoping to change their fortunes on home ice.
The Rampage have climbed to 6th place in the division thanks to their recent winning streak. The defense has been very good – just as they have been all year – and Spencer Martin has been award worthy this past week. The difference between this week and the previous two, though, has been the offense. The Rampage averaged four goals per game on the road trip, anchored by a terrific effort from the Greer-Compher-Grimaldi line. Additionally, the top line, which has struggled mightily in the early going, finally got going in Friday’s 4-1 win over Cleveland. Both Joe Whitney and Mike Sislo picked up their first points as members of the silver & black, and Jim O’Brien added his first goal as well.
The already strong defense got a nice boost from recent PTO signee Matt Lashoff who filled in for an injured Chris Bigras. They could get another boost this afternoon in the form of Mason Geertsen. Geertsen took warmups Friday night and could return to the lineup today for the first time this season.
Team hasn’t posted the line chart as of now. Update to follow…
