QUICK HITS - NOTES FROM LAST NIGHT
• TOP LINE: Last night WMU's line of Justin Kovacs, Chase Balisy and Dane Walters combined for two goals, four assists and six points. Kovacs tallied his first career two-point game with two helpers, while Balisy and Walters each tallied a goal and an assist.
• CAREER MARKS: With just three games remaining in the regular season, several Broncos have reached new career-best marks. Brett Beebe, Dennis Brown and Dane Walters have all established new career highs. Beebe did not have a point in his career until this season and now sits with eight. Dennis Brown has improved both his goal scoring and his assists with 2-16-18 so far this season. Walters has crushed his previous best goal total for a season with 14 so far. He also sits +16, which is +15 better than his previous career best of +1.
Derek Roehl needs just one more point to tie his career best at 13, while Chase Balisy is tied with his career best of 30 points. Matt Tennyson has matched his career-best for goals in a season with nine and needs just two points to match his career best point total of 21.
• STREAKS: Four Broncos are currently streaking. Danny DeKeyser and Luke Witkowski each have a two-game assist streak (0-2-2), Chase Balisy has a three game point streak and a two-game goal scoring streak (2-3-5) and freshman forward Will Kessel has a two game goal scoring streak (2-0-2), the first of his career.
• RECORD-SETTING PACE: WMU freshman goalie Frank Slubowski is on pace to set the single-season record for lowest goals against average. Currently he sits at 2.12 with three games remaining in the regular season, not including playoffs. Jerry Kuhn currently holds the record at 2.35, which he set during last season. Slubowski needs just one more win for 13 this season, which would make him the first Bronco since Riley Gill to win 13 games in a season. Gill did it twice, once during his freshman season (2006-07) and again during his junior year (2008-09
