The Magicians struggled this past weekend dropping all three games they played. Two against the Janesville and on against the Minnesota Wilderness. The Magicians will look for a fresh start this weekend as they play their first games of 2018. The Magic will welcome the Aberdeen Wings into town to a two-game set. The Magicians still hold the final playoff spot in the Midwest Division with a record of 16-15-2 (34 points).
About the Wings:
The Wings are in 2nd place in the Central Division with a record of 17-11-2 (36 points). Last time out the Wings spit with the Magic when they travel to South Dakota.
