  They lost 7-4 to the New Jersey Devils in their last away game and somewhat damaged their image they had built last. They were really impressively bad in the 2nd period, resulting in a change at the beginning of the 3rd, the very stable all season Shesterkin I. (T.) and justifiably, as he conceded six (6) goals (one did not count) in one (1) period !!! It is a team that hardly makes a series of bad appearances, especially at home this year. They want the victory in the battle they are giving for a better placement in the East. Tonight will be absent the useful Hajek L. (A.16s / 1as), Kakko K. (E.37s / 5k / 9as), Blais S. (E.14s / 4ass) as well as Rooney K (E.51pcs / 6g / 5pm)

  They lost 4-3 (3-3 points) except for the Buffalo Sappers and could not further reduce the distance from the first two (2) of the Region. There they are aiming at the top of the East this year based on their good attack that is rarely latent. They have the best away record this year and if you ask me I would not believe it would be so at the beginning of the season. It is a traditional home team but this year the roles were reversed. Absences and today except the McGinn B. (E.56 pp.

I find it terribly difficult to see a similar appearance from the hosts for the 2nd consecutive match. It will be judged in detail and that is probably where the best defense will speak. I will go with Assos (incl. Extra time & penalty).
