The Sudbury Wolves will look to keep up their strong play as of late as they host Central Division rivals, the Barrie Colts on Friday at 7:05 p.m.
The Wolves were able to gather a point in an overtime loss in the Soo on Wednesday last week against the high-flying Greyhounds. After the mid-week game in the Soo, the Wolves picked up two points in a thrilling comeback and overtime victory against the Niagara IceDogs on home ice Friday, before falling one goal short in a tough loss Saturday night against the Mississauga Steelheads, 4-3.
The Barrie Colts are led up front by 19-year-old forward Lucas Chiodo who has seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points in 16 games. The Colts line-up also features Tampa Bay prospect Alexey Lipanov and 2017 first overall OHL Priority selection, Ryan Suzuki.
