The Checkers had a historic offensive showing Tuesday night, racking up a franchise-record 11 goals to obliterate the Rochester Americans by an 11-1 score. 
Things started strong for the home team, as they scored three goals over a three-minute stretch to build a substantial 3-0 lead after 20 minutes of play, but it was in the middle frame that things really took off.
Already ahead 4-1 late in the second period, the Checkers rattled off six straight goals over a five-minute stretch to hit double digits on the scoreboard. They would tack on one more in the third to establish a new franchise record and coast their way to a historically lopsided victory.
13 different Charlotte skaters found the scoresheet throughout the contest and eight different skaters recorded multiple points, but it was a five-point effort from Kole Lind that led the way and tied the franchise’s single-game record.
While his offense put up fireworks on one end, Joey Daccord stood tall between the pipes for Charlotte, turning in 24 saves to pick up his fourth win of the season.
