This will be the final meeting between the two EHL South division rivals this season. The Revolution have won the previous five contests, outscoring the Junior Nationals 28-10.
"We plan on running an aggressive and physical forecheck to establish our tempo early on in this game," said EHL Head Coach James Laux. "This is key for playing a Junior Nationals team that has been showing signs of improvement in the past few weeks in their regular season play."
The Revolution come into this game after a 2-2 draw against the Philadelphia Junior Flyers Sunday afternoon. Scoring for the team were James Wallace and Stanislav Khokhlov.
"We played a well-rounded game coming off the long break," said Coach Laux. "We were able to out chase them in regulation and hold them to 30 shots between the regulation and overtime frames."
With seven games remaining in the regular season, the Revolution will keep Khokhlov and Devyn Dworsky on the EHL roster and not send them back down to the USPHL Empire club.
"These two have been showing me and the rest of the coaching staff that they belong at the Junior A level," said Coach Laux. "We have a lot of big games coming up before the playoffs, and we need them to continue to play the style of hockey we know they are capable of playing."
