This will be the second of four contests between the EHL South division rivals this season. The Revolution trail the season series 0-1-0-0 from the 3-1 loss back on October 17th.
"We have taken the lessons from our previous loss to the Rockets and used them to our advantage at our practices this week," said EHL Revolution Head Coach James Laux. "Our goal is to to simplify our game in a way that will lead us to wins."
The Revolution are looking to snap a four-game losing streak dating back to October 20th's loss against the Northern Cyclones. During this losing streak, the team has been outscored by a 23-7 margin.
"Last weekend's games against the [Connecticut] Oilers and [Hartford] Junior Wolfpack alone were tough for our team," said Coach Laux. "In both of these games, there were significant letdowns in the third period. We need to be able to compete at a high level for all three periods of a game. Over the past few weeks, we've played a lot of games within a short time frame. I am excited to see our team focus all of their energy into 60 minutes this Sunday."
The EHL Revs losing streak has also been accompanied by injuries to some of their top players. Forward Nick Patullo and defenseman Nick Schaefer have missed significant time due to their respected injuries and will be game-time decisions based on trainer examinations.
The United States Premier Hockey League Empire Revolution squad will also be at The Rink over the weekend, taking on the Brewster Bulldogs on Saturday at 7:30 PM. Both EHL and USPHL Empire games will be streamed live on FastHockey.com.
