The Toledo Walleye are not only facing a desperate Wheeling Nailers team on Wednesday, but also must contend with the odd dimensions of the rink at WesBanco Arena. Up 2-0 in the Central Division finals, Toledo will play on the smaller ice surface in Game 3 on Wednesday. The ice rink at WesBanco Arena, which was built in 1977, is 15 feet shorter from end to end. The rink in Wheeling measures 185 feet by 85 feet with a much smaller neutral zone, which could benefit the more physical Wheeling team against the more speedy and finesse-based style of the Walleye.

When you get it in offensive transition and have numbers you have to take advantage. We can’t sit around and waste good opportunities.”
