Girard will make his first start for Shawinigan since April 6. He’ll replace Alex Dubeau in goal who allowed four goals on 25 shots
in a 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings on Friday night in the first game of
the tournament.
“I've said it all year we have two great goalies and
we're comfortable with whoever we put in net,” Cataractes head coach Eric
Veilleux said. “(Sunday night) it's going to be Girard.”
Shawinigan, 0-1, is in a must-win situation. Falling to
0-2 is usually deadly at this tournament.
London is coming off a 5-3 win over the defending
champion Saint John Sea Dogs last night. The Knights won’t play again until
Tuesday against Edmonton.
Game time this evening is 8pm. Sportsnet.ca has a game preview. As always, this match can be seen on Sportsnet.

- The guy that sang the anthem at Friday’s Cataractes-Oil Kings has been fired for wearing a t-shirt with the message "Sorry Kyoto" and "Harper" on it.
- Are the Oil Kings being cheated out of the Memorial Cup experience?

the Oil Kings.
