The Charlotte Checkers are in the midst of change with the call ups of Brock McGinn, Derek Ryan and Matt Tennyson to the Hurricanes. Without two of their top five leading scorers, the Checkers have lost four in a row (0-3-1) following a six-game winning streak.
The Checkers’ winning streak ended with a two-game sweep over the Iowa Wild on November 10 and 11. Following that, the Canes called up the three players, and the wheels fell off for the Checkers, who dropped games in Rockford and Milwaukee before a two-game sweep at the hands of San Antonio on Friday and Saturday.
