8:10 - Hannah Montana vs M&M & Friends
Both teams are still searching for consistent offensive production. Hannah Montana's scoring has been light so far, while M&M & Friends have had contributions from multiple players but lack a high-end scorer.
Key Players to Watch: Julie Rosinski (M&M&F) vs Brooke Dodd (HM) - both these ladies have shown remarkable playmaking ability so far this season and will hope to continue that into Week 3.
Outlook: Expect a tight, low-scoring affair. M&M & Friends' depth might give them a slight edge.
9:00 - Net Sticks And Chill vs Polly Paquette
Polly Paquette is looking to come out firing after their bye week, while NSAC has shown balanced but unspectacular scoring.
Key Player to Watch: JP Donnelly (NSAC) could be the difference if he continues contributing on offense and special teams.
Prediction: Close game; may come down to defensive discipline.
9:50 - Launching Missiles vs To Ben-finity and Beyond
Launching Missiles has been inconsistent but has some high-end talent capable of breaking through. TBF&B relies heavily on Austin Perron and Mykala Myre to spark offense.
Key Storyline: Launching Missiles' ability to limit turnovers vs TBF&B's opportunistic scorers.
Outlook: Expect an exciting, high-tempo game with momentum swings and plenty of scoring.
10:40 - Give'em Helene vs The Little Dippers
Give'em Helene has been boosted by Bradley McCarter's scoring bursts, while TLD relies on collective effort rather than a single star.
Key Matchup: McCarter (GEH) vs TLD's rookie goalie Joel Legault - can GEH's star capitalize again or will the freshman tender shine?
Prediction: GEH has a slight edge as their top line dominates.
11:30 - Black Hawk Down vs Hotel California
Both teams have shown competitive balance. BHD has solid secondary scoring from Ryan Hawkins and Elise Berthiaume, while HC leans heavily on rookies Nicholas Perron and Tyler Charbonneau.
Key Factor: Special teams and discipline will likely decide this one, given both teams' scoring depth.
Outlook: Tight matchup; may be a one-goal game.
12:20 - The Droufins vs Les facettes du jeu
LFDJ has a high-scoring duo in Stephane Chenier and Josianne Garneau, while The Droufins rely on Rob Clark and balanced attack
Key Player to Watch: Stephane Chenier (LFDJ) - can he continue his explosive scoring?
Prediction: LFDJ looks poised to assert their offensive dominance, but Droufins' depth could keep it close. |
