After starting the season on the road, the Checkers made their triumphant return to the Queen City over the weekend and picked up a hard-fought split with the Cleveland Monsters.
The Checkers made a string of transactions Tuesday morning, recalling Riese Gaber from the Savannah Ghost Pirates and assigning Riley Hughes and Nicholas Zabaneh to their ECHL affiliate.
The Checkers nearly pulled off a clutch comeback in their rematch with Cleveland, but a late penalty shot pushed Cleveland back on top and saddled Charlotte with its first loss of the season.
