Another much needed 2 points required in Scotland to keep this weekend's momentum rolling- would assume Barry starts and hopefully Sointu back - at this point I'd assume Polak is in, Vally and Todd out.

Dowd-Polak-Latal
Eberle-Hodgman-Sointu
Whistle-Armstrong-Jono
Traversa-ROTATE-Graham

ASD-Jones
Schulze-Davey
Ellerby-Mosey

Brust
Rok

We could have Shudra as well if needed which would be good to see him get another chance, and I think we'd get him as Leeds don't play Wednesday.

I think Rok will start this one.

4-2 Steelers. A must win game in hand.

Surely Barry is the most in form with 2 wins this weekend? Then split the weekend (probably Rok at home and Barry away), rather than Rok Wednesday and then split the weekend because then we aren't taking advantage of "riding the hot goalie"

Any news on when Marco Vallerand is back?

Massive game this one, win this & we go 4 points ahead.

Fox said not this week for Vallerand - Sointu should be back though

Barry is certainly emerging as the number 1 goalie which he was brought in for. I do think though for this one Rok will start to try keep both goalies fresh. Whilst this could be a potential banana skin game, top v's bottom of the league should only really go one way.

Wonder if Feldner will play? Steelers said Saturday debut, but EIHL pre match report says he could play? I doubt it to be honest, seems too fast.

Hopefully momentum of 4 point weekend and some fresh blood will keep us rolling - certainly makes everyone feel more confident we can play with a full bench for most of the run in.

Hope we see Polak and Sointu fit and ready to go.

I'm going for a 5-1 win! Would usually guess lines but seems we could still have some knocks and some potential new bodies so could see anything at this point.
