Lowell Lock Monsters (7-4-1) 2nd, Atlantic at
St. John's Maple Leafs (4-4-2), 3rd, Atlantic


Game Preview/Notes:
The Lock Monsters are coming off a 3-0 loss to the Hershey Bears on
Wednesday night. It will be an emotional night for the team as they
are not only looking to come back from the loss, they had to endure a
long bus ride/flight to St. John's aka "The Rock", they also have to
adjust to a time zone change of an hour and a half difference from
Lowell. And last but not least, G Marcel Cousineau returns to the
building where he played for 5 seasons, leaving as the franchises
all-time leader in all goaltending categories.

The Maple Leafs have been off since October 24th, when they fell to
the Saint John (NB) Flames.

The Leafs feature RW Jason Podollan who is 3rd in the AHL in scoring
(9-5-14) and has 5 power play goals. He is helped out by Ladislav
Kohn, who is also in the top 15 in scoring.

The Leafs have two goaltenders on the roster, Francis Larivee, a top
Leafs prospect who played in St. John's last year and rookie Marc
Robitaille, the former Northeastern Husky.
