to the playoffs but who their opponent will be in the first
round of the OHL playoffs has yet to be determined.

Goalie Kevin Beech will likely get
the call versus the Barrie Colts Thursday. In 58 games,
Beech has 30 wins, a .907 save percentage and a 2.89
goals against average. |
The Wolves (31-26-1-5) travel south to Barrie
Thursday to take on the Colts (39-19-1-3), one of Sudbury's
potential first-round match-ups. Depending on how the
Wolves' finish the season, they could also face the
Brampton Battalion or the Kingston Frontenacs in the opening
round.
Sudbury enters the game against rival Barrie
on a two-game winning streak, both of those wins coming on the
road. Beating the Colts in their own building is never an easy
task, just ask the Wolves' who are winless at the Barrie
Molson Centre this season, losing by a combined score of 17 to
8.
Barrie is 21-10 at home this year.
The Wolves' top five point producers
are:
GP G A PTS +/-
Nick Foligno 60 24 42 66 +18
Benoit Pouliot 46 34 27 61 +24
Kevin Baker 63 32 28 60 +2
