It’s Holiday hockey as the Cats & Eagles battle tonight
Thursday night hockey and it’s our Holiday Game — the last game before the break! The Eagles are at the Den for a rematch — the Cats grounded Cape Breton 6-1 at home last week and hold a 3-0 lead in the season series.
Wear your nicest ugly Christmas sweater and you could win a $50 Roar Store gift card — we’ll be holding an intermission contest! We’ll also have some Holiday mascots around the concourse.
The Wildcats (22-6-2-1) continue to roll into mid-December, looking for an 8th consecutive win as they battle Chicoutimi for top spot in the Q. The Cats are getting scoring by committee and the latest to take over a game is Gabe Smith. Smitty had a 5-point night on Wednesday to spur a third period comeback over Newfoundland. Teddy Mutryn added a pair of goals — his 3rd multi-goal game this month.
Wildcats’ goalie Rudy Guimond is anchoring the most recent QMJHL Team of the Week and leads the league in wins (19), GAA (2.26) & save percentage (.927).
Cape Breton (15-10-1-4) are on a 3-game win streak and are 8-2 in their last 10 games. The Eagles have recently soared above the crowd to 4th in the Eastern Conference (7th overall).
