Western Division Road Trip

The last weeks have been full of travel, beginning with an away series against Wenatchee the weekend of October 26th. We spilt the series against the best team in the league losing the first game 3-1 on an empty net and winning the second with a huge 6-3 win. One of the big game changers in those game was the effort of Tyler Parks who stood on his head and turned away a ton of shots.

After being ejected on a weak call during the first game I had to really focus on finding exactly where the line is for me to play on without going over the limit and taking major penalties. My job especially this year is to play with as much intensity and grit as possible without finding myself in the dressing room early. So they second game I reset and played much simpler and was able to be apart of our big win.

Moving on to our next weekend in Fresno against the Monsters, my hitting game finally clicked. The timing that I had been looking for really began to work and I had one of the best games of my career. It was a highlight game for the team as we won in a shoot out. The next game I was sat for a late 3rd period penalty. The final score of that game was a 6-3 loss. The team went 2-2 in our west coast road trip and finally lifted ourselves out of last place in the central division.
