KINGSTON FRONTENACS gameday report<br />

READY FOR ANOTHER BATTLE<br />

frontenacs looking to shutout north bay in regular season series<br />

familiar foe to the <strong>Kingston</strong> <strong>Frontenacs</strong>, the<br />

A North Bay Battalion have proven to be a pesky<br />

opponent over their years in Brampton and North<br />

Bay. The sting of the playoff loss to the Battalion<br />

last year has nearly faded–the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> have<br />

won all three of their matchups vs. North Bay this<br />

season with the final regular season tilt coming<br />

tonight. While the history makes the game story<br />

interesting on some levels, tonight’s matchup has<br />

plenty on the line–for both teams.<br />

The Battalion, in 3rd place–tied with Niagara–<br />

are 10 points behind the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> in the Eastern<br />

Conference. With 26 wins, 17 regulation losses, 4<br />

overtime losses, and 4 shootout losses, the Battalion<br />

have found consistency in their game with<br />

6 wins, 1 regulation loss, 2 overtime losses, and 1<br />

shootout loss in their past 10 games. They are the<br />

perfect example of why the extra point even in a<br />

shootout loss or overtime loss are key as they sit 4<br />

points ahead of the Ottawa 67’s.<br />

The <strong>Frontenacs</strong>, still the hottest team in the<br />

East, are in the middle of a weekend that will set<br />

the stage for the post-season. After 51 games this<br />

season, the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> have 33 wins, 14 regulation<br />

losses, 2 overtime losses, and 2 shootout<br />

losses, good for 70 points, a 2 point lead on Barrie<br />

for top spot in the Eastern Conference. In the East<br />

Division, the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> have wide 12 point lead<br />

over the Ottawa 67’s. In their past 10 games, the<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> have 7 wins, 2 regulation losses, and<br />

1 shootout loss.<br />

HOME ICE ADVANTAGE: Looking at the past 10<br />

games for both teams shows a similar story: <strong>Kingston</strong><br />

is 7-2-0-1 and North Bay is 6-1-2-1. But factor<br />

in each teams last 10 games at home and away,<br />

and give the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> the edge with a 7-3-0-0<br />

in their past 10 games at Rogers K-Rock Centre<br />

and the Battalion with only 3-2-3-2 in their past 10<br />

games on the road. KF<br />
