After spending their first 10 games of the season on the road, the Checkers finally made their return to Bojangles' Coliseum for their opening weekend. They split two games with the Manitoba Moose, rebounding after a tough loss Saturday to clinch a last-minute win on Sunday.
With injuries mounting on defense, the Checkers have recalled rookie Justin Agosta from the ECHL’s Florida Everblades. He expected to be available to make his AHL debut during Sunday’s game against Manitoba.
The Checkers returned to the historic Bojangles’ Coliseum Saturday night, but couldn’t muster up any offense as they fell to the Manitoba Moose by a score of 3-0.
With five points between them in the last two games, Brody Sutter and Brendan Woods enter this weekend with a lot of momentum on their side. They have both been a force through the first 10 games this season, though their roles has shifted somewhat from a season ago.
