Florida Jrs Looking To End 3 Game Losing Streak

The Florida jr's have 3 key guys out with injury and are currently on a 3 game losing streak that they hope to end this afternoon when the play the Montreal jr's in Montreal.

Brad Richardson sidelined 2-4 weeks (broken fibula)Oskari Korpikari sidelined indefinitely (fractured forearm) were injured in the first game of the season and Tobias Enstrom sidelined day-to-day (broken nose) in the second game. Tobias is still expected to miss close to another week before his return.

"We have been hit hard with injuries early and need some of our younger players to step in for these guys until their return." GM Perrault told the press "We cant take Montreal lightly either. They will be eager to win their first game as our we. We have not had the start that we were hoping for but it is still early and we can still make this season a successfull one. Ivan Khomutov just got back from a successfull skating camp and will be in the line up for his first game of the season. Goalie Billy Thompson will sit out his first game to give Lukas Mensator his first start of the season as well. We have been having trouble scoring and need to find a way to remedy that if we want to be successfull tonight against Montreal."

Floridas jrs can move out of the cellar with a win or could dig that hole they put themselves in a little deeper with another loss. Stay tuned for game highlights and comments in the next edition of Panther news.
