Player's to Watch:
Guelph Storm - Sasha Pastujov
Coming off an impressive 4 point night and a hat trick last night, Pastujov is now tied for the lead in the league for points with 17 and goals with 10. The Anaheim Ducks third rounder has impressed in his first games in the OHL and coming off a big night last night will be the player to watch for the Storm against the Soo Greyhounds.
Soo Greyhounds - Bryce McConnell-Barker
The OHL rookie had 1 goal and 1 assist in the first game against Guelph, with finding early success against Guelph we will see if he can do it again tonight. He will be a player to watch as he comes to the Sleeman Centre for the second time in his career and having his first time result in a two point night he may have another good performance for the Greyhounds against the Storm.
Upcoming Game:
Tonight's game against the Soo Greyhounds will be one not to miss as both these teams continue to fight for valuable points in the standings. As well as the game tonight it is also Spyke's Halloween Bash, so make sure you come to the game dressed up to celebrate halloween!
