After an opening road win, the Moccasins have dropped three straight, allowing five goals per game. A pair of defensemen, Bill McKay and Jason Smith lead scoring. All-Stars Matt Cressman and Darren Dougan also return. Look for defenseman David Barozzino to get his points too. But sharing time in net so far, Mike Gorman and Greg Smith have been less than spectacular. 0-3 on the road, Lake Charles has Tupelo again Wednesday, before coming to the Cave.
Fort Worth has the early rodeo blues, holding up the bottom of the division after four road losses.
The Brahmas have been outscored 19-10 in those games. Justin Cardwell leads the team with seven points, but no one else has stepped up. Fort Worth visits Corpus Christi Wednesday, before their first home games against Odessa and Austin. Their three wins came at the Pirates Cove. Facing good teams like Central Texas and Bossier-Shreveport, we dominated both those games.
