In the middle chunk of their longest (and final) homestand of the season, the Checkers took three out of a possible four points against their division rivals, the Oklahoma City Barons.
The leap into the pro game is a big one, but the Checkers are using the remaining bit of their schedule to prepare those skaters for the next level. While several prospects have spent the last week practicing with the team, defenseman Brett Pesce is expected to take the next step with his professional debut tonight.
