ROAD WARRIORS

The Barons have been better on the road than at home.

Oklahoma City is 13-7-2-2 at home and 17-5-0-1 on the road.

“We feel good wherever we play,” Barons coach Todd Nelson said. “It's a good feeling to have. We know we have an opportunity to win going into every game we play and it's a good feeling. Not too many teams have that.”

THAT LOSING FEELING AGAIN

Friday night was the Barons' first loss since a 2-1 defeat at home to Abbotsford on Jan. 14.

“It's not a good feeling, that's for sure,” Barons' alternate captain Josh Green said. “The guys are upset about it. We wanted to keep the streak alive but it's a good opportunity to start a new one. It's never good to lose, but if you learn from it you can take some good out of it, for sure.
