Injury-hit Knights looking to extend impressive winning streak at Sharks

Battered and bruised they may be but Leeds Knights are showing the kind of consistency and form which has produced their unrivalled success over the past three years—a development which can surely only mean bad news for their NIHL National rivals.

The Knights head to Solway Sharks tonight looking to stretch their winning streak to nine games.

They will be met at Dumfries Ice Arena by a Sharks team deprived of using its home rink for most of the season so far and determined to put on a show for their fans in what is their home opener.

It could prove a potent mix for the Knights to deal with, particularly when combined with a notoriously tricky rink for visitors to adjust to - given its unique measurements, in particular its shallow neutral zone.

But, given the form the Knights are in - at least in terms of results-you wouldn’t bet against them at the moment.
