THE SCOOP

After winning the season-opener at Oklahoma City, the Aeros get ready for their first 3-in-3 of the season as well as their home-opening weekend at Toyota Center.

 

FIRST-GAME RECAP

Peter Kalus registered a three-point night (2-1-3) and Joel Broda (2-0-0) scored twice as the Houston Aeros opened the 2010-11 season with a 6-1 win over the Oklahoma City Barons at the Cox Convention Center Saturday night. Aeros goalie Matt Hackett turned aside 30 shots, including 14 in the third period, for his first pro win while Mike Yeo guided the team to a victory in his head coaching debut. Cody Almond notched three assists (0-3-3) while Jean Michel-Daoust (0-2-2) and Jon DiSalvatore (1-1-2) chipped in with two points each. Houston went 2-for-7 on the power play while the Aeros penalty kill stopped all seven OKC power play opportunities.

 

FIRST WIN FOR YEO, SYDOR, WISEMAN

Head Coach Mike Yeo, along with assistant coaches Darryl Sydor and Brian Wiseman, were successful in their coaching debuts.

 

SEASON OPENERS

The Aeros are now 8-6-1-2 in season-opening road games. At home, Houston is 6-8-0-2 all time in home openers. Saturday’s 6-1 win at Oklahoma City was the largest margin of victory in a season-opening win in Aeros franchise history. The previous high was a 5-1 win at Milwaukee to start the 2003-04 season. The largest margin of victory for an opponent in a season-opener was a 7-3 loss at Fort Worth in 1995-96.

 

PRACTICE SCHEDULE

The Aeros practice at Sugarland Ice and Sports Center most weekdays at 10:30 a.m. This week, the team practices Mon-Weds. At 10:30 a.m. On Thursday, the team skates at 8:30 a.m. and then will travel to Oklahoma City. Contact the Aeros media relations department to confirm dates and times.

 

ROSTER MOVES

Defenseman Drew Bagnall, left wing Matt Kassian, goalie Anton Khudobin and forward Casey Wellman were reassigned by the Minnesota Wild to the Aeros from the National Hockey League (NHL) club on Saturday, Oct. 9.
