Eastlink Centre (3,717) ~ Charlottetown, PEI

Jesse Lussier is out with a wrist injury which leaves a rookie defense core for tonight's game. The only players with any QMJHL experience before last night's game are Brandon Worthen and Cavan Fitzgerald who have played 5 and 3 games respectively. There's also a rookie in the nets and Kevin Resop will be looking to have a better game in Charlottetown than he did in Bathurst yesterday, not that last night was terrible. 

Kelly Bent will be back in the lineup after sitting out on Friday night because of a one game suspension that happened while he was still a Saint John Sea Dog player last season. Bent's return will add another level of physicality to the Mooseheads line up as long as he and Brandon Vuic stay out of the penalty box. Can the boys bounce back when they take on the Charlottoetown Islanders tonight? We are going to have to wait but once again it will be an entertaining game and watch how this half rookie team fares.
