Eagles, Armada Go Back To Back Tonight In Boisbriand

The Cape Breton Eagles will hope rest and a reset can snap a losing streak in the back half of a two game set against the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.

The Eagles are back in Boisbriand tonight for a rematch with the Armada, who prevailed 5-0 on Sunday. It’s the first game for both teams since the weekend clash, which was the Eagles’ fourth game in five days. Special teams was key in the Blainville-Boisbriand victory, with the Armada scoring three goals and adding a short handed tally.

Sunday’s match saw the Eagles play most of the game without Romain Litalien who was given a five minute major and a game misconduct early in the first period. For the Armada, it was a big game for their two first round NHL draft picks. Bill Zonnon (Pittsburgh), held to just one goal in seven games after returning from a lengthy injury absence, exploded for a hat trick. Justin Carbonneau (St. Louis), who had been held pointless in three games, contributed two assists.

It’s the fifth game of a seven game road trip for the Eagles, who have dropped the last three contests after opening the road trip with a victory in RImouski. Tonight marks the second and final meeting of the season between the Eagles & Armada.
