Friday, February 22, 2013TRENTON, N.J. - The Elmira Jackals continue their busy four game week tonight by paying a visit to the Sun National Bank Center to tangle with the Trenton Titans. The Jackals began their week here with a win over Trenton in Monday's matinee.
WHO: Elmira Jackals - Ottawa/NHL & Binghamton/AHL (28-20-4) at Trenton Titans - Philadelphia/NHL and Adirondack/AHL (20-26-7).
The Jackals are facing the Titans tonight for the 11th of 16 meetings this season and the sixth of eight at Sun National Bank Center. The Jackals are 6-3-1 against Trenton this season after claiming a 4-1 win here in Trenton on Monday. Elmira and Trenton have had many offensive shootouts this season and have combined to average 8.2 goals per game in their 10 prior meetings. The only game that combined for fewer than seven goals was Trenton's 2-1 win in Elmira on November 16. The Jackals' three wins in Trenton are their most on the road against a single team. Tonight they try to send Trenton to three straight home losses for the third time.
The Jackals enter tonight with 52 games played which are the second fewest in the ECHL. This game, however, is the second of four this week and eighth in the last 17 days. Elmira will play four-game weeks in four of the final six weeks of the season, including this week. Only one of those weeks (March 18 - 24) will feature four home games. The lightest week will be March 11 - 17 when the Jackals play just twice. When the calendar flips to March, Elmira will be at its busiest with 16 games in 30 days.
