Series Preview: Setting the Table

The Port Huron Prowlers and Indiana Sentinels will set the table the night before Thanksgiving with a one-off Wednesday game at McMorran Place. It’s the start of a four-games-in-five-nights stretch for Port Huron that will continue in Topeka over the weekend.

The Prowlers are coming off another split weekend in Wytheville with the Blue Ridge Bobcats. On Friday, Port Huron came out firing and built a 4-0 lead on Brett Morich’s first pro goal and Blake Anderson’s first pro hat trick. They went on to take it 4-1. The next night was the Bobcats’ turn. Their 4-0 lead came off two goals from each Daniel Klinecky and Carson Andreoli and it resulted in a 5-1 decision. The Prowlers are 9-5-0 with 27 points and still in second place in the Empire Division.

The Sentinels played just once last weekend as they visited the Watertown Wolves on Friday. Indiana took a 2-0 lead in the first but Watertown scored three unanswered en route to a tight 4-3 victory. Yefim Mishkin’s game winner was his second of the night and the only goal of the third period. The Sentinels are dead last in the Empire at 1-11-1 with four points.
