The San Diego Gulls are ready to wrangle in the Reign as the team continues its club record-tying six game homestand tonight at Pechanga Arena (7 p.m. PT; TV: FOX 5 San Diego; RADIO: Gulls Audio Network).

In the last meeting between the two Pacific Division rivals, San Diego earned a 4-0 victory over their SoCal foes. Overall, the Gulls hold a 41-27-4-2 regular season record against the Reign, including a 20-13-3-0 in San Diego. 

This win over the Reign is just one piece of the Gulls current season-high seven game (6-0-0-1) point streak. San Diego enters tonight seventh in the division standings with 53 points, just one point shy of the Henderson Silver Knights’ sixth-place spot in the Pacific Division.  

“The team’s been playing really well,” Gulls left wing Alex Limoges said. “So honestly, it’s we come to the rink for a game day and we know it’s going to be good night. We’re going to find our legs and we are going to find pucks and make plays. Coming in and we’re confident, we’re shooting the puck, and everybody’s having a lot of fun.”

The Gulls most recent contest was a hard-fought 4-3 victory over the Tucson Roadrunners fueled by a high-flying Limoges, who registered his first career hat trick and his first career fight in the win. 

“It just seemed like everything was going my way and I didn’t think I did too bad in my first fight, so that’s also a bonus,” Limoges said. “And we got the win. It was close there at the end, but we found a way to win and that’s what good teams do.”

The three-point night matched his career high and extended his point streak into a season-high fifth game (5-4=9). He leads the team with 17 goals and has points in eight of his last nine games (6-7=13) as well as 9-7=16 points in his last 13 games. 

Moreover, Limoges completed his hat trick in the final frame with what would be the game-winning goal on the power-play,…
