Falcons Weekly Preview, Week 8


After losing their last 2 games, the Falcons will be looking to rebound this weekend. The Falcons get a boost from the return of their Captain #11 Tim Sestito. Sestito got his first taste of NHL action in a 2-1 Oilers loss to LA.

The Falcons PK and defense has been struggling, while their offense has been surging like never before under the umbrella of the Oilers organization. Rob Schremp has 8 points in his last 4 games, Ryan Potulny has 7 in the same span, and Gilbert Brule has added 5 points in that same stretch.

Theo Peckham will miss both games as they will be his 2nd and 3rd games of a 3 game suspension for the incident against Norfolk last Friday.


Ryan Potulny and Danny Syvret will face their former teams for the first time on Friday on the 1st of 2 weekend games for the Falcons. Both players stats are listed below as they are both big offensive contributors for their respective teams. Syvret is tied for first in AHL scoring for defensemen and Ryan Potulny is tied for 12th in goals in the AHL. Syvret's offensive production would be an afterthought if Taylor Chorney, Josef Hrabal, Sebastien Bisaillon, and Cody Wild were piling up the points from the Falcon blueline. Since they aren't Syvret's offensive production is looked at with envy by many Falcons fans.

Hopefully this weekend they can find a good balance of offense, defense, and special teams.
