The Flock has fallen to league-leading Allen (4-0) and last-season finalist Wichita (5-1) already this week. Third-place Denver boasts half of the CHL's 40-point scorers to date in A.J. Gale (42 points, 19 goals) and Brad Smyth (41 points, 16 goals). News: Denver goalie Kent Patterson was named the CHL's Third Star of December this week.

In all, the Mallards meet either rival a whopping 21 times to close this season. ... If the Flock falls tonight, QC will have more home losses (7) than anyone else in the CHL. ... Denver's Gale, Smyth and Troy Schwab (37 points) all have outscored QC scoring leader Mickey Lang (34 points, 16 goals). ... Lang's plus-7 leads QC; Obi Aduba's minus-12 is the Flock's worst rating. ... After scoring on 6-of-23 power plays to start a late-December winning streak, QC's league-worst man-advantage attack (8.77 success rate) is scoreless on its last 22 chances. Around the league: Allen took a hit Wednesday when leading scorer Scotty Howes was recalled by AHL Springfield. ... Denver also lost forward Ben Wilson to a recall this week by AHL Lake Erie. ... AHL Peoria's Jay Barriball is rehabbing with Bloomington this weekend because ECHL farmclub Evansville does not have roster room right now.
