KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY REPORT
MID WEEK GAME START OFF BUSY WEEKEND
LEAGUE-LEADING 67’S START OF 4 GAMES IN 6 DAYS FOR FRONTENACS
T
he Frontenacs are coming off a busy three game
weekend that included a lengthy bus trip to Owen
Sound and Guelph. They will get a quick break on
Monday and Tuesday, but that is where the rest ends
as they head into a weekend that includes three home
games, plus a trip to Barrie. All four of those games will
take place over a five and a half day stretch.
The busy schedule starts with a difficult opponent
tonight in the Ottawa 67’s. Kingston’s East division rival
was the first team in the OHL to clinch a playoff
spot with a win over Peterborough last Thursday night.
They have an embarrassment of riches when it comes
to league leaders. Tye Felhaber, who recently signed
with the Dallas Stars, leads the league in points (93)
and goals (53) while Austin Keating leads the OHL in
assists (55). Both goaltenders, Cedrick Andree and
Michael DiPietro are in the top 5 in the goals against
average and save percentage categories. Cedrick Andree
also sits atop the OHL in wins (30).
The Frontenacs weren’t able to get a win last
weekend, but had a much improved effort in two of
the three games. After recording 20 shots or less in
the previous three games, they put 24, 29 and 34 on
net in their next three. More shots resulted in more
goals for the most part. Fans were treated to a great
game against the Petes on Friday night that ended in
a 4-3 shootout loss. The next night Kingston scored 4
times in Owen Sound, but gave up an empty net goal
late and lost 6-4. Despite the results, these two games
were two of the best efforts the team has had in 2019.
Kingston fans can get used to seeing the Ottawa
67’s over the next month. Kingston has just six home
games remaining this season, three of which are
against the 67’s. The only previous visit that Ottawa
made this season was the School Day Game in November.
Kingston has already made three of the four
trips to Ottawa this season. The last trip to Ottawa
comes on March 17, the final game of the season. The
Frontenacs are still looking for their first win of the season
against the 67’s. KF
