Barber Poles look to push Generals to brink in Game 3
The Ottawa 67’s got two big wins in Gatineau through the opening contests of their first-round series, and now have the chance to put the Oshawa Generals in a stranglehold.
As the series shifts to the Tribute Communities Centre, the Barber Poles are eyeing a 3-0 series lead, tonight, in Oshawa territory. Puck drop is set for 7:05pm, and fans can watch live on Rogers TV, stream on CHL TV, or hear Kenny Walls call the action on 580 CFRA.
Oshawa pushed back in Game 2, after a 7-0 drubbing in the series opener, but the 67’s held on for a big win. Logan Morrison led the way with a pair of goals, and an assist, with Will Gerrior scoring the other marker, and Collin MacKenzie making 29 saves for the victory. Beckett Sennecke, and Calum Ritchie had the markers for the road side, with Jacob Oster turning aside 30 shots.
