Quick Turnaround For This Afternoon’s Eagles/Titan Rematch
The Cape Breton Eagles won’t have to wait long to look for payback against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan. Less than 24 hours after the Titan scored a Friday night victory, the Eagles will off with their New Brunswick rivals again this afternoon.
After an evenly played first period, the Titan broke the deadlock with a strong second period, outshooting the Eagles 21-8 and taking a 2-0 lead en route to a 3-1 lead. Emile Perron assisted on goals from three different goal scorers- Colby Huggan, Blake Pilgrim-Edwards, and Noah Laberge. Lucas Romeo provided the breakthrough for the Eagles with a late power play marker.
The Eagles will hope to get an offensive boost from New Jersey prospect Cam Squires, who will return to the lineup after serving a one game suspension- Squires has notched 16 points in 19 games this season. Bathurst will also have a 19 year old forward returning, as Alexandre Lallier (10 points in 22 games) returns from his own suspension tonight.
Here’s what else you need to know ahead of tonight’s game!
