Raiders look to extend series tonight
Club faces 3-2 deficit
Malcolm MacMillan
If there's still some gas left in the Nepean Raiders tank, tonight's the night to show it.
The Raiders trail 3-2 in the best-of-seven series and though they've had their backs against the wall before, tonight will be the first game they've played while facing elimination.
Brockville outshot and outhustled Nepean 4-3 on Tuesday night, setting up a pivotal game six tonight at the Sportsplex.
The home club will have to continue its efforts at both ends of the ice just as it did in games three and four, when Nepean outscored Brockville 12-5.
Discipline will continue to play an important role in the series tonight. Nepean got out to a 1-0 lead in game five but left the Braves back in it after spending half the first period shorthanded.
The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Come cheer on the Raiders as they look to extend the series!
