Here's a preview of tonight's home opener for the Sarnia Legionnaires.

WHO – Sarnia Legionnaires (1-1) vs. Strathroy Rockets (1-1).

WHEN – 7:10 p.m. at the Brock Street Barn.

WHO TO WATCH

Sarnia:  Forwards Jeff Schroeter and Brent Sauve have both shown a nice scoring touch around the net in the club's first two games.

Strathroy:  Derek Nap has a goal and three assists for the Rockets. Alex Avery also has three points. And of course the team features veteran right-winger Walter Easter, who is well known to Legionnaire fans.

SIGNIFICANCE – Early indications are that several teams will be bunched close together in the standings all year long, which means games like this could be important down the stretch.

HISTORY – Strathroy has had Sarnia's number for quite some time now. In fact, the Rockets won all six encounters between the two clubs last year. They also won both exhibition games against the Legionnaires this fall. The last time Sarnia beat Strathroy was in Game Seven of the 2009 playoffs. The Legionnaires triumphed in that one 5-1, then went on to win the Western Jr. 'B' championship.
