Sundogs Back into Sixth Playoff Spot after Winning Week
February 19, 2007 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Arizona Sundogs News Release
The Arizona Sundogs are in the stretch run of their Inaugural Season and are pushing for their first-ever CHL post-season. After three wins at home at Tim's Toyota Center against Southwest Division opponents this past week, the Sundogs currently sit in the Southern Conference's sixth and final playoff spot, one point ahead of the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees and one point back of fifth place, the Austin Ice Bats.
On Wednesday, February 14 the Sundogs faced off against Southwest Division leading Amarillo. In an offensive game that saw Cory Stillman and Dmitri Leonov both collecting hat tricks, the Arizona Sundogs skated away with a 7-5 victory to start the six-game home stand.
On Friday, February 16 the Odessa Jackalopes came to Prescott Valley for a two-game weekend series. The Sundogs would collect six goals while Odessa would only manage two in the contest. Arizona would have 12 power play chances but only convert on two. Sundogs' goalie Kris Mayotte would get his second win in as many starts after his return from IR.
Saturday night would see the same score as Friday night's tilt as the Sundogs would skate past Odessa 6-2. The Sundogs' offense would continue to thrive this time converting on 80% of their power play chances going an eventual 4-for-5 with the man advantage.
In the first three games at home in the month of February the Sundogs have tallied 19 goals while only allowing
