2011 Subway Super Series – Game Two – Team Russia vs Team QMJHL

Tonight, November 9, 2011 at 8pm

Pepsi Colisee

QUEBEC CITY, Que. – After a disappointing 2-0 loss in Game One, Team QMJHL will look to get some revenge on Team Russia tonight as the 2011 Subway Super Series continues.

Game time for Game Two of the series is 8pm at Pepsi Colisee. The match can be seen live across Canada on Sportsnet.

Game One was a rough one for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League all-stars. They played well, outshooting Russia 42-12 but could not beat goaltender Sergey Kostenko. Kirill Rasskazov and Bogdan Potekhin each scored in the win.

The QMJHL has now lost three straight games against the Russians dating back to last year’s sweep. You can make all the excuses you want, but the reality is that being swept for a second straight year would not look good on the league.

Three members of the Saint John Sea Dogs are taking part in the event: defensemen Nathan Beaulieu and Pierre Durepos and forward Zack Phillips. Jonathan Huberdeau was also named to the roster but is unable to play due to a broken foot.

All three Sea Dogs played fairly well on Monday night. Phillips led Team QMJHL with five shots on goal.

There are some different line combos for the Q tonight, as tweeted by RDS’ Stephane Leroux.

Hudon-Phillips-Gelinas
Duclair-Danault-MacKinnon
Halley-Pageau-Dube
Bissonnette-O'Brien-Brouillard 

Gormley-Beaulieu
Lefebvre-Leduc
Ouellet-Carrier
Durepos-Ellis 

Louis Domingue will start in goal.

For Russia, Pavel Suchkov will start in goal. Quebec Remparts star rookie Mikail Grigorenko will also be insterted into Russia’s lineup.
