This will be the second of six meetings between the EHL South Division rivals this season.
"Washington has shown vast improvement since our first game against them," said EHL Revolution Head Coach James Laux. "We are looking to play hard nose hockey and dominate offensive zone time and shots on goal.
The last time the Revolution and Junior Nationals faced off was back on September 28th, a 7-1 Revolution victory at home. Ken Tencza registered a hat trick and Riley Egan and Nick Patullo scored two goals apiece. Goaltender Jacob Caffrey earned the win in net, stopping 24 of 25 shots on goal.
The Revolution enter tonight's game looking to extend their winning streak to three games. Their previous victory was earned on the road, a 4-3 final against the Philadelphia Junior Flyers back on November 10th.
"We got off to a slow start," said Coach Laux, "but I was happy with the effort level in the last two periods. It was good to see the team stick with the game plan despite being down early and be able to find a way to pull out a win on the road."
Philadelphia will also enter today's game with some of their key players out of the lineup. Forwards Tencza, Remington Woods, Chris Connor, Steve Atkinson, and Garret Quinn, and defenseman Dennis Maier are still inactive, according to the EHL website.
The organization has called up forwards Jeff Schaefer, Julian Lever, and Myckauly Melanson and defensemen Josh Suboyu and Linder Kenyon from the United States Premier Hockey League Junior B team.
With the Revolution's victory last week against the Junior Flyers, the Junior Nationals remain as the only EHL team without a road win this season. The Junior Nationals are still searching for their second win of the season and looking to end their 12-game losing streak.
The Revolution and Junior Nationals will play again tomorrow at The Gardens Ice House Arena in Laurel, Maryland at 2:45 PM.
