One consistent in all five of The Crown’s victories over Atlanta is its Croatian Brick Wall, Kristijan Kahlina. In the eight regular season matchups between the two sides, Kahlina has stood between the sticks in seven of them, posting a 5W-2L-0D record. The keeper has posted 28 saves, two clean sheets and a 77.8 save percentage, the best marks among all goalkeepers in the series with at least two matches played. To further speak on how important the defensive end is in this rivalry, one side has been shut out in half of the all-time meetings, so Charlotte’s faithful will need to be out in full force to cheer on its defensive stalwart on Wednesday.
