The Checkers hope this upcoming weekend will yield more positive results than last week, as Charlotte dropped a pair of games in regulation. Charlotte holds a three-point lead in the league standings as of Thursday and are still 6-3-1 in their last ten games. The Checkers are doing this all despite not having a player in the top ten in scoring. Forward Janne Kuokkanen, the team’s points leader, sits at 11th overall with 23 points in 24 games. Ever-reliable Andrew Potrualski sits second on the team and 17th in the league with 22 points in 24 games.
