Family gets another chance to end its slide Wednesday at 2:30 PM EDT, with Red Barons bringing a six-game losing streak into the matchup. The teams met once before on Sep. 8 and skated to a tie, so there is already some familiarity in a game that comes early in the 56-game season.

The standings tell the story of the gap right now: Family sits fifth with six points, while Red Barons are sixth with five. Family has scored 29 goals in seven games and is coming off a 9-2 loss to the Chiefs on Monday, while Red Barons have 17 goals in six games and were beaten 5-2 by the Flyers last Thursday. Family's top skaters are not listed, but its overall numbers show a group producing 4.1 goals per game and allowing 3.4. Red Barons have allowed just 15 goals in six games, with Family and Red Barons each looking for a first win as the season keeps moving.
