Hounds Go 12 Straight With a Point
The dream start to the 2007-08 season for the Youngstown SteelHounds continued on Tuesday night as once again the Hounds came from behind in the third period for a 4-3 victory over the Tulsa Oilers. Youngstown’s 11-0-1 record and 23 points are both tops in the CHL and most impressively they have done all of their damage on the road.
