Maroons Up Against Elimination Again

For the second straight game, the Maroons will try to stave off elimination in their 1st round playoff series with the Nationals.

Chatham beat London 5-4 Wednesday night in London and now trail the best of seven series 3-1. Head Coach Tyler Roeszler says they want to build off Wednesday night's win.

"When we move our feet and we pinch our defencemen, we want to be aggressive, I mean they can't get out of their zone so, we want to stay 5-on-5, continue to play with speed and use momentum and bring it into Friday night," says Roeszler. "Our D need to continue to make a good first pass, I think that's the biggest thing and kind of break through their trap and then after that our forwards have to move their feet and really support, you saw us get more traffic in front of (Justin) Tugwell and get more shots to the net."

Puck drop is set for 8:30pm at Chatham's Memorial Arena.
