GAME DAY

It might be warm outside but the reception for the Lloydminster Bobcats will be chilly at RJ Lalonde arena tonight.

Both teams are looking to bounce back after losing their respective home openers to Grand Prairie.

----

There won't be many roster changes for the Bonnyville Pontiacs tonight. Fans should expect to see nearly the same lineup they saw on Friday against G.P. but the team will likely insert Marc -Antoine Juneau who has recovered from his training camp injury.

Juneau lit up his midget AAA league last year in the states playing with Beau Bertagnolli who had a big impact with a goal and an assist in the home opener. Expect those two to see some action on the same line tonight.

-----

Speaking of line combinations, after Craig Cuthbert's big game, with 3 points, on Friday he will likely be moved up to try and spark the offence of Greg Hennessey and Tyler Henry.

Shawn Bates will move next to play maker Kirk Belyk who had 3 assists on Friday as the Pontiacs try and spread out the scoring.

-----

Adam Gingras will go in goal again for Bonnyville but expect Lloyd to make a change to Brady Wilyman after Tyler Esau let in some reported softies in Lloyd on Saturday.

-----

The Pontiacs have taken the last three season series between the two clubs and this years eight contests should again be a classic battle.
