WALLEYE NOTES
Took Three: The Toledo Walleye took three of six possible points from the three-game trip to Idaho to face the Idaho Steelheads. The week began with a 5-2 loss on Wednesday, but the Fish roared back, taking one point with a 4-3 loss in overtime and then a 5-2 win on Saturday to salvage a win on the weekend and another two points.
Easy Spezy: Forward Tyler Spezia has tallied four goals over his last four games, three of which coming on the power play. Spezia has nearly matched his goal total from the 2023-24 season with Grand Rapids (6). The 31-year-old veteran has already found the net a team-leading four times this season, proving his value both on and off the ice in his return to the Glass City.
Bliss-ful on the Ice: Forward Trenton Bliss is off to a strong start this season, tallying seven points (4G, 3A) in five games, good enough for second-most points on the team. The Wisconsinite capped the trip to Idaho with a pair of goals on Saturday to lead the Fish to victory. Bliss’ four goals also put him in a tie with the above-mentioned Spezia in the team-lead for goals.
A Not-So-Slow Starter: Forward and reigning ECHL MVP Brandon Hawkins is a self-proclaimed slow starter. That may not be the case anymore. Hawkins has collected a team-leading eight points (1G, 7A) over the first five games to begin the season. This hot start includes a four-point performance on Saturday that included his first goal of the season and a contribution on four consecutive Toledo goals. Hawkins is riding a four-game point streak dating back to 10/20 at Bloomington with eight points (1G, 7A).
The Moment We’ve All Been Waiting For: The Walleye return home to play in front of the home crowd for the first time in the 2024-25 regular season this weekend. The Fish welcome in the former division rival Wheeling Nailers on Friday and the in-state division rival Cincinnati Cyclones on Saturday
