Kam River will open their best-of-seven first-round series against the two-win Kenora Islanders.
OLIVER PAIPOONGE – The Kam River Fighting Walleye were going to have a target on their backs regardless of how they entered the playoffs.It’s also why it was important for the defending Superior International Junior Hockey League champions to battle their way to the regular season’s conclusion, finishing with a pair of close-knit games against the Red Lake Miners, the first team they’ve played in nearly a month that boasted a winning record.
Getting a couple of games in against a contender, and coming out on top, was important for the team, Doucette added. If Vegas was taking odds on the SIJHL’s opening round, there’s a good chance they might not even offer up the Fighting Walleye’s series against the two-win expansion Kenora Islanders, a team they outscored 54-6 in their five most recent encounters.
“We’re going to have all four lines and all three sets of D going. We’ve got to play fast. We’ve got to get on top. I think we strive when we play a good transition game, when we get out of our zone clean,” Messier said. “The less time we spend in our zone is going to be to our advantage.” Isiah Kinnvanthong made it 3-1 before the midway point of the second, but Red Lake’s Aiden Corbett notched his 31st of the year, bashing home a rebound on back-to-back-to-back shots from in close on VanderZwaag.
