Puck Drop: Tuesday, 7 p.m.
Records: Checkers 7-11-1-0, Admirals 8-12-0-0
The Charlotte Checkers enter Tuesday fresh off a two-game home sweep of the Milwaukee Admirals this past weekend. The back-to-back wins were a first for Charlotte this season and gave it four-straight home wins. Sunday’s 3-2 shootout victory was the Checkers' first this season when trailing after the first period. It also featured 39 saves from goaltender Drew MacIntyre.
The Checkers will be looking to avenge a, 4-1, loss in Norfolk a week ago. This is the third of eight regular-season match ups between the two clubs. The series is currently tied, 1-1.

Horrible collapse after 58 minutes of decent hockey. The fatal turn was only getting 2 shots during a 4 minute power play late in the 3rd period, I bet NOR had 10 shorthanded shots during that same 4 minutes. Very disheartening. Daniels needs to be held accountable for the time after time collapses when up by a few goals. #FireDaniels
