The Wings come into the game with a 4-2 record and off a win over Rochester on January 19 while New York heads to Philly at 1-5 and got their first win of the season with OT win over Georgia on January 18. The first half of this game was very exciting with a lot of scoring and big hits, the Wings took a 4-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Riptide would rally back to get the game tied at five and that would be the score at halftime.
