The Johnstown Tomahawks return home after a six-game road trip to take on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights in a three-game series here at the War Memorial. The Tomahawks are looking to snap a four-game losing streak, while moving towards the top of the East Division standings.
The Tomahawks also begin an 11-game homestand this weekend, welcoming all three East Division foes to the War Memorial over the next four weeks.
The Knights are also looking to rebound after dropping a pair of games last weekend. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has lost four of its last five games, with their last three games being played at home.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams at the Cambria County War Memorial and the third overall. The Tomahawks hold a 2-1 advantage in the season series, including a 7-3 season-opening win Sept. 18. The Knights picked up their first win in team history over the Tomahawks Oct. 10.
Following this weekend’s games, the next meeting will take place Dec. 19 in Scranton. The next meetings in Johnstown will take place Jan. 22-23.
