Belleville Bulls News Release
SUDBURY, ON - The Belleville Bulls continue their weekend road trip Saturday night with a stop at the Sudbury Community Arena. Despite a late 3rd period surge, the Bulls fell 3-2 to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on Friday night. Belleville defeated Sudbury 2-1 in their home opener the last time these two clubs met. The second of four meetings between the two is set for 7:00pm.
Sudbury is led by Czech Republic product Pavel Jenys who has buried 4 goals and added 9 assists in 13 games played. 1996-born centre Matt Schmalz has chipped in with 10 goals and 2 assists in 17 games played.
