Kingston Frontenacs Game Day February 14, 2020

KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY REPORT
FRONTENACS HOST SPUTTERING SPITFIRES
WINDSOR MAKES ANNUAL KINGSTON VISIT IN MIDST OF STANDINGS SLIDE
At one point in January the Windsor Spitfires
were tied for the West Division lead with
60 points. Heading into Thursday night action
in Peterborough, they had fallen to third in the
division with 63 points and trailed the Saginaw
Spirit by 8 points for the division lead. The cause
of the fall was 5 losses in their previous 6 games.
They gave up an average of 5.83 goals against
over that stretch.
Needless to say, this is a great time for the
Frontenacs to see the Spitfires on the schedule.
On top of Windsor’s struggles, Kingston
has been playing solid hockey as of late. The
Frontenacs week started on Wednesday night in
Oshawa. Entering that game Kingston had won
3 of their previous 4 games and their offence
had averaged 4.5 goals per game over that
stretch. The defensive game has also improved.
Their 3.5 goals against per game over those four
games was nearly a goal/game better than their
4.45 average over the course of the season.
Recent history would appear to give Kingston
a slight advantage in tonight’s game, but when
Windsor visits Leon’s Centre they always come to
play. The Spitfires have taken the last two meetings
in Kingston. Since the two teams only meet
once per season at Leon’s Centre, that means
the Frontenacs have not beaten the Spitfires on
home ice since November 27, 2016. They did
earn a 4-3 OT win in Windsor last season. Kingston
is 57-46-13 in 116 all-time meetings against
Windsor. KF
