Regiment in WildTown for Tuesday night Teddy Bear Toss
The Wildcats return to home ice with back-to-back games against Atlantic rivals. The first game features the Regiment at the Den for a Tuesday night Teddy Bear Toss game. Fans are encouraged to bring a new, wrapped Teddy Bear to toss when the Cats score their first goal. All stuffed animals will be donated to Moncton Headstart.
The Wildcats (23-7-2-1) were jarred back to reality in their post-Christmas debut on Sunday, going down 4-0 in the opening period against the Eagles in Sydney. But the comeback Cats eventually tied the game, grabbed the lead and earned a 6-5 shootout win, with Simon Binkley potted the tying and shootout-winning goal. Tommy Bleyl picked up where he left off and put up 3 points (1G, 2A) in the victory. Bleyl’s 39 points (6G, 33A) have him in the lead for QMJHL defenceman scoring.
Moncton & Newfoundland last tangled on December 17th with Gabe Smith racking up 5 points in a 6-3 Cats win. The Regiment hold a 2-1 season series lead.
Goalie Rudy Guimond leads the league in wins (20), GAA (2.35) & save percentage (.923).
Newfoundland (17-14-1-1) are on a 2-game win streak and are 6-4 in their last 10 games. They are in a logjam — currently 11th overall — in the middle of the Q standings where 6th place through 12th are separated by just 4 points.
The Regiment are led by 20 year-old Justin Larose who sits 3rd in Q scoring with 49 points (19G, 30A) in 33 games. They also just acquired 6’8 goalie Louis-Antoine Denault from the Remparts. Denault made his Regimental debut on Sunday, beating the Mooseheads 5-2 while stopping 30 shots.
