The Sarnia Legionnaires face a crucial test Saturday when they face off against the Leamington Flyers in Greater Ontario Junior 'B' Hockey League action.

WHEN: Saturday, 7:30 p.m.

WHERE: Sarnia Arena.

WHOSE HOT: Sarnia: Jesse Drydak scored two goals in the team's last outing, including a beautiful, short-handed marker. Leamington: Goalie Marc Tremblay got a shutout Thursday when the Flyers thumped the Lambton Shores Predators 4-0.

SIGNIFICANCE: Both teams are off to a slow start. Sarnia is 0-1-2, while Leamington is 1-2-0. Both have two points in the standings and both are just two points ahead of the last place Predators. If Sarnia is to get its season turned around, it can't afford to lose home games like this one. Leamington, on the other hand, could gain an edge on the Legionnaires down the road if they can steal a win out of the Brock Street Barn.

STATS: The Legionnaires have scored six goals, while giving up 14 in their first three games. The Flyers have scored seven, while surrendering 11.

HISTORY: Sarnia finished first in the Western Conference last year, while Leamington was fifth. But the clubs split six games last winter, with both winning three games. The Flyers broke Sarnia's seven game winning streak at the start of the 2008/09 season by winning an OT game in the Sarnia Arena.
