After sporting a 6-3 record on Friday evening (missed the Belleville
Kitchener Game) and going 4-4 on Saturday night (Predicting the exact
score in 3 of the 4 wins), we now come to a lazy Sunday with only 4
games. Looking to stay above 500 this weekend and improve the overall
winning percentage on game Predictions. Let's take a look at the 4 games
scheduled for today.
Sudbury at Brampton
The Battalion are looking to salvage some points this weekend as they
return home after losses at Erie (7-4) and at Niagara (5-2). In
yesterday’s game goals came from unsuspected sources – Froats (2nd goal of the year) and defenceman Miller (3rd
goal of the year). Sudbury comes to town off a big win at Peterborough
last night 8-4. Kuchin and Sgarbossa each with 2 goals and 1 assist – 8
players with multipoint efforts. Sudbury gave up 7 powerplay chances
against the Petes and were scored on 3 times. Sudbury has 56 points and
is in 5th place in the Eastern conference – Brampton has 63 points as they fall to third place.
My prediction Sudbury 3 Brampton 4
Saginaw at Kitchener
Saginaw pushed around the Otters last night to a 3-0 score. Their
big names pulled their weight – Saad with 2 goals and an assist, Shalla
with 1 goal and 1 assist, Trochek with 2 assists. Jake Paterson with the
40 save shutout. The Spirit are in the middle of the pack (5th
place) with 51 points). Kitchener had yesterday off to ponder the home
ice loss to Belleville Friday night (6-3). In that game the Bulls were
able to come from behind and score 4 straight goals to run away with
the victory (2 of the goals were late in the 3rd period into
an empty net). Murphy with one goal, and -3 rating ... Reider with 1
goal and 1 assist and -3 rating. Kitchener is in 3rd place in the conference with 67 points and have had 7 wins in their last 10 games.
My prediction Saginaw 2 Kitchener 4
Guelph at Oshawa
Guelph was idle yesterday – so they were able to practice and reflect
on their 5-2 home loss on Friday night (vs. the Spirit). In that game
the Storm fell behind early in the first period (4-0) and never quite
recovered. Zack Mitchell had a goal and an assist to go along with 3rd
star honours. Guelph has 21 wins and 47 points on the season – Oshawa
has 22 wins and 49 points on the season. Guelph lost their last 2 games
and the Gens lost their last game. On Friday night at Ottawa the
Generals kept pace with the 67’s in shots (36-37) but were edged out 3-2
in goals. A late powerplay goal in the third period made the score
closer than it probably was. Jensen scored his 21st goal of the year.
My prediction Guelph 3 Oshawa 2
Mississauga at Windsor
Mississauga lost their last 3 games. The most recent was on Friday
night at London 5-2. They were only able to muster 17 shots against the
strong Knights squad. 52 shots against did not bode well for this
squad. Wise and Foy with the lamplighters for the blue team. Maxwell
with his 10th game with the Majors (5-5 record so far).
Windsor was outmatched on the scoreboard 5-1 by the strong Plymouth
squad. Shots were even at 35 a piece but the Spits did not get sharp
goaltending – making another change early in the game – Cullen replacing
Pavelka. In the penalty filled game only 5 Spits did not go into the
penalty box. Windsor has 22 regulation wins and 49 points – Mississauga
has 22 regulation wins and 50 points.
My prediction Mississauga 2 Windsor 3
