The Wings currently stand 5th in the Division with 54 points and a record of 26-22-2-0. The Shamrocks rest at 7th in the division with 34 points and a record of 15-31-2-2. The Shamrocks, under the guidance of head coach Casey Kirley, have experienced a challenging inaugural season but aim to capitalize on their home-ice advantage to secure a pivotal win.
