The Twins improve to 23-16 and the Royals fall to 14-24. The teams will return to Kauffman Stadium on Saturday for game two. Pre-game coverage begins at  5:30 p.m. on AM 1240 and 95.3 FM WJON.

- The Norsemen fell 2-1 to the Wolverines in overtime. Blake Perbix netted the lone goal for the Norsemen. St. Cloud outshot Anchorage 49-21 in the loss. The Norsemen now trail 0-1 in the best of three series. They will get a chance to tie things up or risk going home in game two on Saturday. Puck drop is set for 4:30 p.m. in Blaine.

PREVIEWS:

- The Lynx (1-5) will face the Wings (3-2) in Dallas on Saturday to kick off the third week of the season. Minnesota has struggled to find a rhythm so far, but the return of Kayla McBride from a stint in Turkey lifted the Lynx to their first win on Tuesday. The Wings are currently on a one-game winning streak and sit in second place in the Western Conference while Minnesota sits in sixth. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m.
