Scouting Report – 10/28/2017 – Kyle Criscuolo

Scouting Report – 10/27/2017 – Sahir Gill
On Friday night (10/27), for two periods the Amerks looked exactly like like a team that was dominated in consecutive appearances on home ice last weekend.

Scouting Report – 10/13/2017 – Hudson Fasching
Friday night the Amerks played a very underwhelming brand of hockey against the Comets. Zone entry was once again very sloppy, and they weren’t able to dig pucks out well either.
