Who's Up Front:
The Top Six forwards of the Ice Wolves are going the focal point in Game Six. The Stars need to find a way to keep the likes of Lindensmith, Carre, Findlay, DeCorby, Brennan and Conacher off the score-sheet. Don't get me wrong, the Ice Wolves can beat you in many ways, but if the Stars want to force a game Seven, they'll need to limit the time and space of some of the higher scoring forwards on the Ice Wolves.
Who's on D:
Will Mike Alexander be back in the fold for Game Six? If so, that drastically increases the Ice Wolve's power-play effectiveness, and it also bodes well for them defensively.
Who's in Goal:
Bartko did all he could in Game Five to win the game for his team, and fell just short. It'll be his turn in Game Six to try and steal the show.
X-Factor:
Today I look at the grinders: Richard Cameron and Nolan Souchotte. Both have had a terrific series, but just haven't been able to capitalize. If the Wolves can get a goal from one of their role-players, that will spark the rest of the team, and perhaps put them into the SJHL Final.
Who's Up Front:
The top six of the Stars will have to put this team on their back offensively tonight. On one hand the Stars have proven that they can get scoring from anywhere, but in the same breath, they've shown that when their top six are going - The rest seems to follow dutifully. Mitch Wall, Chad Filteau, Brett Miller, Blake Peake, Ward Szucki and Blake Tatchell are the ones to watch today.
Who's on D:
Do you think that Jesse Lebreton, Coleman Brodbin and Brody Malek want their season to end on a Sunday in La Ronge? Those three are going to bring it, and bring it big-time tonight.
Who's in Goal:
Blair Atcheynum hinted after Game Five, that it was going to be Kyle's time to shine. He won Game Five, and now Game Six will be on his plate too. The Stars need Kyle Birch to have another effort like Game Five. If so, then Game Seven is a legit possibility on Tuesday night.
X-Factor:
Discipline. Keep the Ice Wolves off of the power-play in La Ronge and you'll find success.
