There's a double dose of OHL action this
weekend as the Wolves square off against the Brampton Battalion
on Friday at the Sudbury Arena, 7:30 game time, and the Saginaw
Spirit on Sunday, 2 pm game time.
The Wolves start off a busy period Thursday
night taking on the Barrie Colts in Barrie.
The Wolves hold a slight edge in the season
series with Brampton, going 3-2-1-1.
Bobby Chaumont and Rafal Martynowski lead the
Wolves this season against the Battalion with seven points
each. Chaumont has six goals and seven points in seven games.
Martynowski has four goals and three assists in seven
games.
For the Battalion, Luch Aquino has been the
Wolves biggest problem. Aquino has three goals and nine points
in seven games.
Speaking of Saginaw, despite being one of the
league's punching bags, they have made some moves that
might prove to be bountiful in the future.
Earlier this season, Saginaw acquired Tom
Mannino from Windsor and Michal Birner from Barrie in separate
transactions.
Both moves have benefited the players.
Mannino came to Saginaw after only producing
11 goals and 27 points in 41 games for Windsor. In his first 14
games with the Spirit, Mannino has six goals and 13 points.
Birner had four goals and 14 points in 28 games with Barrie. In
18 games with the Spirit, Birner has six goals and 17
points.
Both players should prove to be big pieces in
the Saginaw puzzle next year.
Sudbury spotlight: Jadran Beljo has had a
breakout season with Peterborough. Last year, Beljo managed one
goal and four points in 37 games. This season, Beljo already
has 16 goals and 29 points in 47 games.
