Keep An Eye For

Bruins- DeRoose-Morrison-Paslawski. This line had plenty of chances on the weekend for the Bruins and Morrison was the only Bruin to score in La Ronge. This line also provided a strong start for the Bruins and almost scored in the opening minute for the Bruins. The Bruins are looking for a spark after a weekend where they only scored 6 goals in three games.

Hounds- Sam Aulie. Heading into the season the Hounds weren't expected to score a lot of goals but Aulie has been one of the reasons the Hounds have been so successful. Right now Aulie has averaged a point per game with 25 points in 25 games this season.
