Barber Poles host Trout before hitting the road

For the second time since February 25, and final time this season, the Ottawa 67’s host the Mississauga Steelheads inside The Arena at TD Place, Friday night.

Having won three of their last four games since then, the Barber Poles look to extend their winning streak to four games, tonight. Puck drop is set for 7:00pm ET, and fans can watch live on Rogers TV, stream on CHL TV, or hear Kenny Walls call the action on TSN 1200.

Fans attending the game should note that parking is sold out, and should seek alternative solutions here.

Ottawa was last in action against the Saginaw Spirit, staving off a late rally to take home a 4-3 shootout victory. Henry Mews, Luca Pinelli, and Cooper Foster scored in regulation, before the road side came back to tie it, but Jack Beck, and Will Gerrior scored in the skills competition to deliver the victory. Max Donoso made 22 saves in goal, for his 29th win of the season.

The Trout have lost four straight, beginning with the defeat at the hands of the 67’s. They last took to the ice on Saturday, falling 3-2 in a visit to the Barrie Colts. Angus McDonnell, and Brice Cooke provided the offence, with Ryerson Leenders making stopping 39 of 42 shots in the effort.

The Barber Poles will have to carry on a man lighter for the rest of the season, announcing yesterday that forward, and Ottawa Senators prospect Tyler Boucher will miss the next three to four months. The 20-year-old will undergo surgery to repair a torn right shoulder labrum; suffered at the 2023 IIHF World Juniors, and re-aggravated in Kingston, a week ago.
