BIG EAST VS WEST MATCH-UP<br />

FRONTENACS AND GREYHOUNDS MEET IN BATTLE OF OHL’S BEST<br />

vs<br />

If there’s a game to watch in the OHL this weekend,<br />

it’s very likely tonight’s match-up between the<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> and the visiting Sault Ste. Marie<br />

Greyhounds. As of press time both teams were<br />

seeded 3rd in their respective Conference, but<br />

within a hair of 1st place.<br />

edge in penalty killing, at almost 86 percent, while<br />

the Greyhounds are effectively killing off penalties<br />

78 percent of the time.<br />

The Greyhounds are as red hot as their jerseys,<br />

on an 11-game winning streak heading into<br />

last night’s game in Peterborough. With only 3<br />

regulation losses, the Greyhounds have amassed<br />

an impressive 42 points in 25 games played so far<br />

this season. Their record of 20 wins, 3 regulation<br />

losses, 2 overtime losses, and 1 shootout loss gives<br />

them 42 points, second best in the OHL. Their .840<br />

winning percentage is the best in the league.<br />

The <strong>Frontenacs</strong>, after Wednesday’s 4-1 win over<br />

the Ottawa 67’s for the School Day Game, continue<br />

their hot pace and have earned points in 8 of<br />

their past 10 games. With 33 points in 26 games<br />

played this season, the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> record of 14<br />

wins, 7 regulation losses, 2 overtime losses, and 3<br />

shootout losses has them tied for first in the Eastern<br />

Conference with the Hamilton Bulldogs.<br />

Special teams will likely play a role in the win<br />

tonight. Both the Greyhounds and <strong>Frontenacs</strong> have<br />

similar powerplay success, with the Greyhounds<br />

scoring 24 percent of the time and the <strong>Frontenacs</strong><br />

19 percent of the time. The <strong>Frontenacs</strong> do have the<br />

BACK IN ACTION ON SUNDAY VS COLTS:<br />

Sunday’s afternoon game against the Barrie Colts is<br />

the first of 4 match-ups between the two top Eastern<br />

Conference teams. The Colts currently sit 2 points<br />

behind the Frontencas with two games in hand (as of<br />

Thursday, November 30). - KF<br />
