The Barrie Molson Centre hasn't been kind
to the Wolves this season, who haven't won a game in that
building in four tries this season.

Kevin Baker scored the only goal
for Sudbury Thursday, his 33rd of the season, in a 4-1
loss to the Barrie Colts. |
History repeated itself Thursday night when
the Barrie Colts dropped the Wolves 4-1.
Despite the loss, the Wolves' maintained
their hold on sixth place with 68 points. Barrie sits in second
place in the Eastern Conference.
Losing their four games in Barrie by a
combined score of 21 to 9, the Wolves would like avoid dropping
to seventh place in the standings, since they would then likely
play the Colts' in the first round of the OHL
playoffs.
The Colts' jumped to an early lead,
scoring three times in the first period. Barrie forward Bryan
Little scored his 40th goal of the season on the power
play.
Sudbury goalie Kevin Beech was pulled at
16:07 of the first period after Chris Morrison scored
Barrie's third goal. Chris Abbey stood between the pipes
for the rest of the game, stopping 17 of of 18 shots fired his
way.
Kevin Baker scored the one and only goal for
the Wolves, on a second period powerplay. Nick Foligno and
Benoit Pouliot assisted on the goal, Baker's 33rd.
The Wolves' return home to the Sudbury
Arena Friday to take on the Toronto St. Michael's Majors.
Game time is 7:30 pm.
