The Essex 73's travel to Wallaceburg for their second game in as many nights.

Head Coach Gil Langlois is hoping his players aren't fatigued, as back-to-back sets are not something they're used to.

"A lot of other teams have their games are all on the weekends," he says. "With our home games on Tuesdays, it usually lends itself to spread (the schedule) out."

The 73s have won three of their last four games, scoring 23 goals in that span, while Wallaceburg's lost five straight.

In Jr. B action, LaSalle's looking to bounce back from a loss in Leamington, as it hosts St. Mary's.

The Vipers were riding a three game win streak before a 4-1 loss to the Flyers last Thursday.

St. Mary's sits in second-last place in the GOJHL's Western Conference.
