Players to Watch:
Guelph Storm - Danny Zhilkin
After getting his prospect rank upgraded to an A earlier in the week by NHL Central Scouting, Zhilkin was able to put up a goal and an assist in last night's tough loss to the Attack. Currently on a 2-game point streak, Zhilkin will be aiming to continue the offensive success tonight against the Sting.
Sarnia Sting - Ty Voit
The Toronto Maple Leaf's 5th rounder has impressed to start the season. Totalling 17 points in 13 games, Voit has been able to contribute offensively to the Stings success. On a 3-game point streak which has seen him get 1 goal and 5 points, Voit should be a player to watch in tonight's game.
Upcoming Game:
The Storm are back in action next Friday, November 26, when the London Knights visit Guelph for the first time this season. The puck drops at 7:30.
