Playoff Game Preview: Guelph Storm @ Soo Greyhounds
The Storm are back in the Soo for game 5 of the first round of the playoffs. The puck drops at 7:07pm.
Guelph are coming into tonights game down 3-1 in the series after losing last game 5-4 in overtime. Last game was extremely close and tonight should be no different. The Storm look to stave off elimination tonight as they are one loss away from exiting the playoffs.
The Soo are one game away from winning the series but will be without their starting goalie for the rest of the series. The Greyhounds were able to end last game on a win even though they lost their 4-0 lead that they had early in the game. They’ll be looking to end the series tonight as home against the Storm.
