Toronto Rock at Philadelphia Wings
Saturday, 1:00 PM - Wachovia Center
Inside: Game Stats | Discuss the Game

Saturday's matinee between the Rock and Wings was postponed on Friday.

Severe weather in the Toronto area has prevented the Rock from flying to Philadelphia for the game.

"It's unfortunate that we have to postpone the game," Wings president Russ Cline said. "It's virtually impossible for the Rock to arrive in Philadelphia in a timely manner for our scheduled game."

A new date for the game is expected to be announced on Monday. Based on the teams' shared open dates and Wachovia Center availability, the game likely will be played in April.

Tickets for Saturday's game will be honored on the new date or may be exchanged, at the Wachovia Center box office, for tickets to one of the Wings' other two remaining home dates.

Philadelphia leads the Eastern Division with a 6-1 record. Toronto is third, at 5-3.

A six-goal Bandits run proved more than enough to drop the Swarm, 11-7.

Chad Culp scored less than two minutes in, giving Minnesota (6-3) an early lead, but the Bandits fired back with goals by Clay Hill and Dan Teat for a 2-1 advantage after one quarter.

Ryan Ward and Culp teamed up to put the Swarm ahead, 3-2, midway through the second quarter before Roger Vyse and Delby Powless countered for Buffalo (7-4). Sean Pollock scored for Minnesota with four minutes left in the half, tying the game at 4-4.

After newly-acquired Keith Cromwell scored early in the third quarter, Buffalo rallied to take a two-goal lead, Powless scoring twice and John Tavares adding a single. After three quarters, 7-5.

Buffalo ran away with the victory early in the fourth quarter, stringing together another three goals -- Mark Steenhuis, Tavares and Hill -- for a 10-5 lead. Dan Marohl, making his Swarm debut, scored moments later and Culp added one after that, but the Swarm rally ended then and there.

Powless (3 goals, 3 assists) led the Bandits offensively with six points. Culp (3 goals, 1 assist) and Ward (1 goal, 3 assists) had four points each for the Swarm.
