Falcons Weekly Preview, Week 7

















The Falcons found themselves thoroughly embarrassed this past week. They were horribly out shot in their 3 games last week, 46-16 against Worcester in a 2-0 win, 43-21 against Syracuse in a 2-1 win, and 35-11 against Worcester in a 3-0 defeat. That's a 124-48 shot disparity in 3 games! If it wasn't for the amazing performance by AHL player of the week goaltender Devan Dubnyk, they wouldn't have won a single 1 of those 3 games let alone 2 of them.

This weekend the Falcons look to change their fortunes by giving Dubnyk some breathing room. They have called up LW Bryan Lerg and sent down RW Colin McDonald. McDonald will likely see his first ECHL action as he still hasn't been able to provide offense and a consistent game at the AHL level.

The Falcons play 3 games in 3 nights this weekend...

Players in Red are called up to the NHL.
