Walleye Notes
Walleye collect three points in Iowa: Forwards John Albert and Marcus Vela each scored once and collected an assist on Wednesday to lead Toledo to a 4-0 win at Iowa. The Walleye secured a point in Friday’s 3-2 shout-out loss before finally dropping its first regulation game to Iowa 3-2 on Saturday to finish the week 1-1-1. Toledo is 5-1-1 against the Heartlanders on the season.
Age is only a number: TJ Hensick continues to reign at the top of the ECHL in points with 31 picked up in 20 games this year. The 36 year old’s 14 goals is tied for the league lead while he ranks second with 17 assists.
Fulcher picks up right where he left off: After nearly a month in the AHL with Grand Rapids, goaltender Kaden Fulcher returned to Toledo last week and started twice in Iowa. His 19 save shutout performance Wednesday was his second shutout this year which is second most among all ECHL goaltenders. The 23 year old’s sparkling 1.70 goals against average is also the second best in the league currently.
Hot starts to games: The Walleye have rocketed out quickly in games so far this year outscoring opponents by a 55-33 score combined in the first two periods of games. Toledo is 9-2-0 when they score first in a game this season.
Closer to Winterfest: Toledo has one final road weekend before Winterfest 2021 as they will travel to South Carolina to take on the Stingrays on Friday night before a pair of games in Greenville on Saturday and Sunday. This is the first time this year that the Walleye will play any teams from outside the Central Division.
