Kingston looks to extend winning streak to five against the Steelheads
Kingston, ON – The Kingston Frontenacs will try to extend their win streak this afternoon when they visit the Brampton Steelheads for a 4PM puck drop at the CAA Centre.
Kingston comes into Brampton riding a four game winning streak, capped by an impressive 4-2 victory last night over the Brantford Bulldogs, the Eastern Conference leaders and the number two ranked team in the country. It was a statement win and one that underscored just how confident and connected the Frontenacs look right now.
Both teams were missing key contributors in Friday’s matchup, but Kingston outworked Brantford and never backed down. They won puck battles, defended with purpose, and showed a willingness to compete in the hard areas of the ice. In a game where depth and desire mattered most, the Frontenacs simply wanted it more.
That momentum now carries into a quick turnaround against a Brampton team that’s also coming off a tight contest. The Steelheads fell 1–0 to the Barrie Colts last night in a shootout, a game defined by structure, patience, and goaltending. While Brampton came away with just a single point, the loss was hardly a discouraging one, as they limited chances and stayed composed through a scoreless regulation and overtime.
Saturday’s matchup sets up as a classic clash of momentum versus response. Kingston will aim to bring the same pace and urgency they showed against Brantford, while Brampton will be motivated to bounce back on home ice after a narrow defeat.
For the Frontenacs, the formula has been clear during this four-game run: strong starts, commitment to team defense, and timely scoring. They’ve shown an ability to stay disciplined and resilient, even when the lineup isn’t at full strength.
Brampton, meanwhile, will look to generate more offense after being shut out last night. Playing at home gives them last change and the opportunity to dictate matchups, something that could be crucial against a Kingston team coming off an emotional win less than 24 hours earlier.
With both clubs playing on back-to-back days, energy management and depth could be deciding factors. Expect a tight, competitive game where details matter. Winning faceoffs, managing the puck through the neutral zone, and special teams execution could all swing the outcome.
