 The
Sarnia Legionnaires will try to get back in the win
column tonight when they host the Lambton Shores
Predators.
Coach Dan Rose's club was blanked 4-0 Wednesday in
London in a game in which they outshot the hometown
Nationals 31-25.
In fact, the Legionnaires dominated the first
period, but hard luck around the net prevented them
from taking the lead.
London came on strong in the second frame, grabbing
a 2-0 edge. The Nats added two more in the third
stanza.
Former Sarnia Sting Marcus Pepe paced the Nationals
with two goals and an assist.
Rose said afterward that his club had “outchanced”
London. It was, he said, a strong effort on the
road, even if the results were disappointing.
The loss snapped a three-game Sarnia winning streak.
Tonight's game
As for tonight, the Legionnaires will be looking to
get back up to the .500 mark when they tackle the
Preds.
Lambton Shores is on a 25-game losing streak but the
club put in a gutsy effort earlier this week, taking
a 5-1 lead against the first place Strathroy Rockets
before eventually being defeated.
The Predators usually lose by large margins these
days, mainly because they have been unable to ice a
full lineup. But from time to time they still come
close to winning.
Sean Parker will get the start in net for the
Legionnaires.
Sarnia will be missing Tanner Tomlinson and Tanner
Ferguson, both of whom are injured. But Andy Sokol
will return from a suspension.
