Belleville Bulls News Release
LONDON, ON - Searching for another weekend sweep, the Belleville Bulls continue their western road trip with a stop at Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario. Wrapping up a home-and-home with a 4-3 shootout win over the Sarnia Sting on Friday night, the Bulls, who sit five points behind the Oshawa Generals in the Eastern Conference, look to add another to their current three game win streak.
Another down to the wire contest with the Sarnia Sting needed to be decided in a shootout. Goal scorers in regulation were Remi Elie, who extended his point streak to 5 games, Jordan Subban, who also added the shootout winner and Justin Lemcke. Netminder Charlie Graham made 43 saves to help the Bulls grab another two points.
Newly acquired forward Brett Welychka will make his first return to his hometown, and to the arena he called home for the last 4 seasons. Welychka was a big part of the Bulls success on Friday night, picking up 2 assists before adding a shootout goal.
The Bulls will be down a man against London as David Tomasek, who continues to fill in on the blue line in the absence of Jack Hanley, suffered an upper body injury in the win over Sarnia.
