Game Preview                                           
Playing their first of just three home games in the month of February, the Kalamazoo Wings will host the Evansville IceMen at Wings Stadium. On the season, the K-Wings are 4-2-1-0 versus the IceMen, which includes a record of 3-0-0-0 at Wings Stadium.

This evening will be the K-Wings first contest since last Friday’s decisive 5-1 victory on the road last night against the Fort Wayne Komets. Kalamazoo will be looking to get back to their winning ways on Vanrick Drive, as the K-Wings have dropped three of their last four games at Wings Stadium.

In fifth place in the North Division, the IceMen trail the K-Wings by eight points for fourth place. Tonight is the first game of a three-game road swing for Evansville, who is 5-11-1-3 this season in games away from the Ford Center.
