Tonight the Soo Greyhounds and our friends a few hours east, the Sudbury Wolves will meet for the second time this season. The first game ended with a 6-3 thumping of the Dogs by the Sudbury boys.<\/p>\n
The Hounds have a record of 3-2 going into tonight’s action where they are coming off a very impressive road trip of three games in three nights and stealing 4 out of a possible 6 points.<\/p>\n
The Wolves arrive with a 2-4 record and are definitely a better team than that.<\/p>\n
The fact that this will be a strong rivalry with the teams playing each other 12 times over the year will factor very much into each meeting.<\/p>\n
SUDBURY WOLVES<\/strong><\/h1>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coach Craig Duncanson<\/strong><\/p>\n
General Manager Rob Papineau<\/strong><\/p>\n
Record 2-4<\/strong><\/p>\n
The wolves are the most penalized team in the league right now (88min) and they will have to stay out of the box.<\/p>\n
Players to watch: Defenceman Jack Thompson<\/strong> who leads the team in points with 11 as well as shots on goal with 26. Others player to watch will be pesky Quentin Musty<\/strong> who as a rookie has shown a lot of spark.<\/p>\n
In goal the Wolves will probably go with overager Mitchel Weeks<\/strong> until they get above 500 hockey. He sports a 2-3 record with a 3.85 GAA.<\/p>\n
SOO GREYHOUNDS<\/strong><\/h1>\n
<\/p>\n
Coach John Dean<\/strong><\/p>\n
General Manager Kyle Raftis<\/strong><\/p>\n
Record 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Hounds sport the 4th best powerplay in the league and are clicking at almost 31% so this will be a something to watch if the Wolves keep playing undisciplined.<\/p>\n
Bryce McConnell-Barker<\/strong> is third in Hounds scoring with 5 points and only 3 behind veteran Cole MacKay<\/strong> (leading the team) so I would be watching out for him as he is a rookie and ever more hungry.<\/p>\n
Tye Kartye<\/strong> and Rory Kerins<\/strong> will also be shadowed tonight as they are the most potent Hounds. <\/a><\/p>\n
