The Soo Greyhounds tonight will need to play a full 60 minutes as they will be facing a much improved and hot Windsor Spitfires club.<\/p>\n

The last time the two teams met, the Hounds edged the Spits 4-3 in Windsor. Make no doubt about it; this game will have playoff atmosphere as only 1 point separates the two teams and Windsor has been hot winning 4 games in a row including a win over the London Knights.<\/p>\n

Goaltending has been key during this run as Xavier Medina<\/strong> is back between the pipes after an injury and sits 4th in the league with a low 2.71 GAA and has stopped 87 out of the last 90 shots sent his way.<\/p>\n

It has been 7 days since the Hounds had any action and I am sure that one of the main focuses in practice during this time was the Penalty Kill as it has cost the Dogs more than a few games. Let’s hope the Hounds have figured out what they were doing wrong and\/or stay out of the box completely.<\/p>\n

World Juniors have gobbled up Hounds Ryan O’Rourke<\/strong> and Tanner Dickinson<\/strong>, and Windsor has lost the services of it’s captain Will Cuylle.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the above; the Hounds are still without Tyler Savard<\/strong> (son of Windsor coach Marc), and Kalyvn Watson.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This game is going to be interesting for sure.<\/p>\n

Tale of the Tape<\/p>\n

WINDSOR SPITFIRES<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Coach Marc Savard<\/strong><\/p>\n

GM Bill<\/strong> Bowler<\/strong><\/p>\n

Record 12-8-2-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Won 6 out of last 10 and currently riding a 4 game win streak.<\/p>\n

Added some size and experience acquiring 6’1″ players Jacob Maillet\u00a0<\/strong> and Nathan Ribau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Up front Kyle McDonald<\/strong> (26 pts), and Wyatt Johnston<\/strong> (39 pts) will lead the way with their Captain Will Cuylle at the World Juniors.<\/p>\n

Xavier Medina<\/strong> is playing playoff hockey right now and will be a puzzle the Hounds will need to solve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SOO GREYHOUNDS<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coach John Dean<\/strong><\/p>\n

GM Kyle Raftis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Record 14-9-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hounds will rely on Rory Kerins<\/strong>, Tye Kartye<\/strong>, and Cole McKay<\/strong> to lead the way.<\/p>\n

Andrew Gibson<\/strong> will get his first taste of the O, and quite often these kids make a big statement in their first game; the Hounds will be hoping for that.<\/p>\n

Tucker Tynan<\/strong> should get his second start and with a week to get to know his teammates and billets; he should be more comfortable between the pipes and this will be great news. His first game ended with a 5-4 loss to North Bay, but all involved agree he played a very good game.<\/p>\n

If the Hounds can stay out of the box and play a fast forechecking game; the Hounds could leave Windsor with 2 points.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GO HOUNDS GO !!<\/strong><\/h1>\n
