The Checkers, much like a banana on a sundae, split their pair of games this weekend yet again in what has become an ongoing theme for a team on track to finish around .500 if they continue at their current pace. Special teams continue to be the team’s strength, ranking 1st on the penalty kill and 7th with the man advantage. It’s the inconsistency at 5-on-5 that continues to be the prevailing theme to Charlotte’s early season struggles.
On Friday, Charlotte played one of their best games of the season in a 3-0 win over the Hershey Bears.
