The Sudbury Wolves return home to host the Oshawa Generals for Games three and four of the first round of the playoffs at the Sudbury Arena on Tuesday March 28 and Thursday March 30.

Both games get underway at 7 p.m. 

The Wolves and Generals are tied at one win apiece in the series after the Wolves won 5-2 Friday and lost 5-1 Sunday in Oshawa. 

Friday night’s game one in Oshawa was a real test of the young Wolves who, for many, got their first taste of OHL playoff action.  

The team responded well, played disciplined hockey and as a unit for a full 60 minutes which lead to the solid road victory.  

It was a full team effort as all three of the game's stars were awarded to the Wolves.  

Sunday’s game was another solid start with the Wolves trailing the Generals by only a goal in a tight game midway through the second before Oshawa capitalized on a few moments of inexperience by the Wolves to build a 3-0 lead before the end of the second period.  

The Wolves found a way to break the shutout in the third and set the tone by outshooting the Generals 21-4.  

Tuesday’s game should prove to be a heated battle with both teams looking to take the series lead. Tuesday's game is sponsored by the Northeastern Ontario Construction Association (NOCA). Visit the NOCA table in the lower lobby for more information. 

They will have hats and toques for lucky fans. Wolves Fans can also pick up their Jiffy Lube Playoff Howl Towels on their way into Tuesday’s game. The first 4,000 fans at the game will receive towels which come with added value from Jiffy Lube. 

Last but not least, fans both young and old in spirit are invited to come down early between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to have their faces painted in the lobby of the arena.  

Thursday’s game is sponsored by the Lexington Hotel who will be on hand with prizes for lucky fans. Don’t miss the Lexington Hotel T-Shirt toss in the first intermission.
