ANTHONY WILL PLAY TONIGHT

News out of Mississauga this afternoon is that Saint John Sea Dogs forward Steven Anthony will play tonight in the 2011 MasterCard Memorial Cup Championship Game against the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors at 8:00 pm (Rogers Sportsnet/RDS; News 88.9 FM).

Anthony has not played since Game One of the President’s Cup final (May 5) against the Gatineau Olympiques because of a knee injury he suffered in that contest. He missed the last five games of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final and all three round-robin games at the Memorial Cup.

Before getting injured, Anthony has been playing quite well on the team’s second line with Michael Kirkpatrick and Tomas Jurco.

In 61 regular season games he recorded 23 goals and 37 assists. In 14 post-season games he added five goals and seven assists.

Anthony recently signed a contract with the Vancouver Canucks, meaning tonight could be his last game in a Sea Dogs uniform. In 244 career regular season games he has 66 goals and 97 assists. In 33 playoff games he has seven markers and 10 helpers.
