Eagles Finish Road Weekend With Visit To Islanders

The Cape Breton Eagles will finish a five game road swing as they visit the league leading Charlottetown Islanders this afternoon at 2 PM.

The Eagles battled back in their weekend opener against Halifax, rallying from down 3-0 to make it 3-2 and then cutting a three goal margin to two goals before falling 5-3 to Halifax on Saturday. Lewis Gendron, who wore the captain’s “C” in the absence of Tomas Lavoie due to injury, pushed the attack with a goal, an assist, and winning 17 of 25 faceoffs.

Charlottetown is coming off of just their second regulation loss of the season, a 4-2 defeat to Moncton on Friday. Interestingly, despite their place atop the league, the Islanders have a goal differential of just +2. The offense has been impressive though, with William Shields placing third in the league in goals, Ross Campbell & Nathan Leek both in the top 20 in points, and Marcus Kearsey second among defensemen. (Campbell will miss this afternoon’s game, serving the third game of three game suspension.)

The Islanders had three players listed on the recent NHL Central Scouting list for the 2026 NHL draft- defensemen Nikita Voyaga & Émile-Alexandro Lemieux-Goupil and forward Nolan Duskocy. (The Eagles had two players listed- forwards Romain Litalien & Maxime Sauthier.)
