Friday: Ontario Reign Projected Lineup vs Roadrunners, Turcotte Moving Positions
Like in the NHL, most of 2021 has seen the Ontario Reign playing two-game sets vs. other AHL teams. However, this weekend it will be a rare pair of back-to-back games against different opponents. First up, is a rematch with the visiting Roadrunners on Friday night. They met up in mid-February for two games, with Tucson claiming one-goal victories each time.
Henderson arrives in SoCal for a game with Ontario on Saturday night, but we’ll hold off on discussing that any further for now.
In front of the Reign is an important game with the Roadrunners, one in which they’ll have leading point producer Rasmus Kupari back in the lineup. And, from what we’ve been able to gather, Alex Turcotte will be sliding over to play left wing alongside of him tonight.
