Texas Brahmas travel to Oklahoma City to take on the BlazersThe Oklahoma City Blazers (11-1-2) and the Texas Brahmas (9-3-1) meet for the second time this season at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City this afternoon. The Blazers won the previous match-up 4-2 on November 7th. Simon Lambert scored a pair of goals in that game and Andy Franck made 25 saves.
These are arguably the two hottest teams in the CHL with OKC losing just once in regulation all season and Texas winning five straight games.
The Blazers have met the Brahmas 37 times since the merger of the CHL and WPHL in 2001. Oklahoma City holds the edge with a 21-11-5 record. That includes a 12-5-0 mark in Oklahoma City.
The Blazers could be without Franck who has started all but one of the team’s 14 games. He left last night’s game at Wichita, a 3-1 win, after 11 minutes due to an undisclosed injury. Doug Groenestege replaced him and won his second straight decision improving to 2-0 on the season.
David Cacciola will start for the Brahmas.
Texas’ offense has been potent in recent games totaling 22 goals over their five-game winning streak.
The game begins at 5:10pm and can be heard on Sportsjuice.com
