In search of a bounce back performance, the Owen Sound Attack are set to take on a trio of West Division foes over the course of four days this weekend.
Coming off of a disappointing 7-0 loss to the Sarnia Sting, the Bayshore Boys will make their first trip to Windsor's WFCU Centre this year to square off against the Spitfires on Thursday night before crossing the border to play the Saginaw Spirit and Flint Firebirds on Saturday and Sunday.
The Attack and Spits will meet for the 3rd time this season when the puck drops at the home of the defending Memorial Cup Champions on Thursday night, with Owen Sound holding a two games to none edge in the season series between the sides.
In the victories, Owen Sound has outscored Windsor 14-6, with both games coming at the Bayshore by way of 9-2 and 5-4 triumphs.
Nick Suzuki, who is currently tied for 3rd in the OHL points race with 31, has victimized the Spitfires in both games this season, scoring twice and adding four assists for six points in two games.
Leading the charge for Windsor against the Attack is overage forward Aaron Luchuk, whose 37 points on the year is good for 2nd behind Sarnia Sting forward Jordan Kyrou.
Following Thursday's game, Owen Sound will spend Friday preparing to take on the Saginaw Spirit on Saturday evening at the Dow Event Centre in Saginaw.
The 7:05pm puck drop in Saginaw marks the 1st meeting of the year between the sides, with Saginaw who begins their weekend of action with a record of 7-9-0-2 which puts them at 4th place in the West Division. Prior to meeting Owen Sound, the Spirit will travel to London to square off against the Knights on Friday evening.
