Benoit Pouliot scored the game-winning goal
in Sault Ste. Marie last night, leading the Sudbury Wolves to a
2-1 win over the Greyhounds.
With the win, Sudbury takes hold of second
place in the Central Division, one point up on the Toronto St.
Mike's Majors and Brampton Battalion yet still five points
behind the Barrie Colts.
Pouliot's goal came on the powerplay with
less than two minutes left in the second period. He now has 13
goals on the season.
The Greyhounds opened the scoring with a
powerplay goal of their own in the first period only to
surrender the game tying goal, courtesy of Stephan Blaho, and
the eventually game-winner in the second.
Wolves netminder Kevin Beech continued his
hot play of late, stopping 27 shots and backstopping the Wolves
to their fourth straight road win.
The Wolves' next game is at the Sudbury
arena this Friday as the Guelph Storm roll into town looking to
avenge a 5-1 loss at the hands of the Wolves in their home barn
on Nov. 11. Game time is at 7:30 pm.

Marc Staal and Jonathan D'Aversa as they represent the OHL
and battle the Russian Selects tonight. The game is being

Elsewhere in the OHL, the Plymouth Whalers
and the Belleville Bulls have pulled the trigger on a trade
designed to shake up both team's rosters. The Whalers send
Cory Tanaka along with a couple of second round draft picks to
Belleville in exchange for Evan Brophey, Wes Cunningham and a
fourth round pick in 2006.
