TROIS-RIVIÈRES – (Montreal Canadiens affiliate) Lions de Trois-Rivières and the (New York Islanders affiliate) Worcester Railers face off against one another for the final time in the regular season this afternoon at Colisée Vidéotron.
Players to watch for the Lions de Trois-Rivières:
· #91 Anthony Beauregard: The 5’ 7” forward set a record yesterday, becoming the best single-season scorer in Lions history. His goal and assist gave him 62 points, sitting him atop the list of Lions point-getters in a single season all-time (as well as leading the pack this year as well).
· #78 Tommy Cormier: The younger of the Cormier brothers put on an impressive performance Saturday afternoon after being scratched from the lineup on Friday. He had a goal and an assist and was awarded the game’s second star.
· #10 Isaac Dufort: The forward – who never shies away from the physical aspect of the game – is one of the Lions’ best forecheckers.
Players to watch for the Worcester Railers:
· #44 Anthony Callin: The forward had several good scoring opportunities in yesterday's defeat, and also excelled when play was between the two blue lines.
· #29 Cole Donhauser: A presence in Saturday’s game, he has a knack for keeping the play alive in the offensive zone.
· #32 Michael Bullion: The goaltender will be the likely starter this afternoon; He’s won his last three starts against the Lions.
Next up for the Lions is a trip to Portland to play the first of four consecutive games against the (Boston Bruins affiliate) Maine Mariners, starting Wednesday night.
