N.A. Juniors Game Night: 12/12

Canada WJC Selection Camp Red-White Game
White 6 vs. Red 3
W/C Dana Tyrell, Red: 0-0-0
G Dustin Tokarski, White: 18 saves on 20 shots

Tokarski performed well after replacing division rival Chet Pickard at the halfway point of the game. He would allow John Tavares' second and third goals of the game.

Tyrell lined up on a checking unit with big Rimouski center Patrice Cormier (New Jersey) and Atlanta prospect Angelo Esposito. Known as a scorer for the Montreal Juniors, TSN reported Esposito was being tried in a two-way role next to shut-down expert Cormier and the defensive savvy Tyrell.

OHL
Brampton Battalion 2 @ Sudbury Wolves 3
W Kyle DeCoste, BRA: 0-1-1, -3, 0 PIM
Season totals: 29 GP, 5-6-11, -12, 29 PIM

DeCoste broke a six game scoreless streak with a late power play assist. He saw more ice time this game due to the absences of star centers Cody Hodgson (Vancouver) and Matt Duchene (2009), who are at Canada’s WJC selection camp. Unfortunately, that extra ice time didn’t do his plus/minus stat any favors. DeCoste’s minus-12 rating is 6 points worse than anyone else on the Battalion roster.

G Torrie Jung, EDM: Loss, 17 saves on 20 shots
