The Sudbury Wolves will host the Hamilton Bulldogs in their final home game of the regular season at 7:05 p.m.
The Bulldogs will be looking for revenge, as the Wolves shut them out 4-0 this past Saturday in Hamilton.
The Wolves picked up four of six points last weekend and will be looking to keep things rolling as they wrap up the regular season and prepare for the journey into the playoffs.

2019 NHL Draft eligible forward Kaliyev has crossed the milestone of 100 points in 65 games, while Strome, a Philadelphia Flyers prospect, has 79 points in 66 games. The Wolves will also have to get around Bulldogs defencemen, Kade Landry who has recorded 51 points in 64 games, 45 of those being assists.
