Players to Watch:

Guelph Storm - Luka Profaca

The top line defenceman has looked strong in his 3rd OHL season, with 11 points in 23 games. He is third in defensive points on the team and is a key part to success at both ends of the ice. Profaca was also on a 4-game point streak which saw him tally 4 assists before the game on Saturday against the Spirit when that streak was broken. Watch out for Profaca tonight when the Sting come to take on the Storm.

Sarnia Sting - Ty Voit

Since his last time playing against the Storm, Voit has been able to tally up the assists, with a total of 20 assists in 21 games Voit leads the team in assists. With 7 goals his total of points sits at 27, he also leads the team in points overall. Tonight, he is a player to watch as he seems to be involved on most Sarnia goals.
