VANCOUVER, BC – The Albany FireWolves came away from their road trip out west with a loss to the Vancouver Warriors, but several FireWolves had performances to remember.
Let’s go By The Numbers Presented By StoredTech and look at some of the key numbers from this past weekend’s game. View game stats here: ALBANY VS VANCOUVER
Kyle Jackson Reaches 200 Career Assists
In his fourth game with the FireWolves since being acquired from the San Diego Seals, forward Kyle Jackson reached an impressive benchmark in his career as his 2 assists in the game brought him to 200 career assists. Jackson has given a much-needed veteran presence to the Albany offense with his vision of the floor being one of his top contributions. The 31-year-old had the game winning assist on Dyson Williams’ overtime goal against Buffalo and he continues to rack up assists working with his talented teammates.
Nick Chaykowksy Reaches 500 Career Loose Balls
In a low scoring game where every possession mattered, it was defenseman Nick Chaykowsky who could be found battling for key possessions all game long. Chaykowsky’s 9 loose balls were the most by any player in the game and it was enough for him to reach the 500 career loose ball mark. He is one of the FireWolves best defenseman and one of their most crafty as he routinely finds ways to go up against multiple opponents and come out with the ball. With the rest of Albany’s games being must wins, having players like Chaykowsky will be vital to their success as every possession matters.

1 Short Handed Goal By Tye Kurtz
One of the highlights of Albany’s game vs the Warriors came from forward Tye Kurtz who’s low to high shot hit the top corner to give them a shorthanded goal to start the game. This was Kurtz’s second shorthanded goal of the year as he has used his great shot to regularly deceive goalies in the NLL in his sophomore season. Kurtz has 28 goals on the season and has been a catalyst for the FireWolves when they need to get a spark going on offense. He was very effective against their upcoming opponent the San Diego Seals last year and will look to continue to pour in the goals in the upcoming home and home series with the Seals.
