Tuesday Night's Spotlight
In a battle between bitter rivals as well as two of the hottest teams in the CHL, the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs put their four-game win streak on the line tonight when they host the Texas Brahmas at the CenturyTel Center. All of tonight’s action can be seen LIVE on CHL-TV (visit http://chltv.insinc.com for ordering information).
The Brahmas fell for the first time in their last nine games on Sunday when they lost 1-0 at Wichita. Texas is catching stride with their eight-game win streak evidence of that coupled with the scorching play of Brett Jaeger (8-0 with 10 goals allowed in his last eight starts).
The Mudbugs have had the offense going coming off a 6-0 win at Tulsa on Sunday. David Rutherford has paced the offense recently with eight points (4-4=8) in his last five games and Jeff Kyrzakos has six points (3-3=6) in his last five. Rutherford is currently on a 16-game point streak (24 points), one shy of the longest point streak in the CHL this season (Nino Musitelli, Allen).

Texas at Bossier-Shreveport (season series is tied at three wins apice)
Allen at Rio Grande Valley (Americans can clinch playoff spot with a win)
