The Wolves continue their homestand today against another conference opponent. This time they're up against the Lake Erie Monsters (Colorado Avalanche farm team), who are currently 8th in the conference and 3 points up on the Wolves.

If Coach Arniel's past tendencies are any indication, look for Matt Climie to start in net again, despite the fact he's been rather ordinary since his return from injury. Starting in net for the Monsters will be AHL newcomer Kent Patterson, a 2007 Avalanche draft pick who just graduated from the NCAA to the pros this season and has been playing in the Central Hockey League due to the Avs' minor league logjam in goal. Patterson doesn't have a win yet in his young AHL career but has apparently been playing well, posting a 0-1-1 record with a 1.94 GAA and .925 Save%.

Lineup and starting goalie at puck drop. GO WOLVES!

The Wolves are having a ceremony to honor former GM and current Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, which is why the game hasn't started yet.

Long speech by Cheveldayoff, that's for sure, but he deserves it. He's one of the best, if not the best, GM's in the history of the AHL.

Climie with a couple point blank saves early in this game. Looks sharp so far. The Wolves need to wake up here.

To add, I guess we know why Climie is starting again. He has a 4-0-0 record, a 1.25 GAA and .947 Save% as a Wolf against the Monsters.
