A pair of Charlottetown Islanders forwards, and top prospects for the upcoming 2015 NHL Entry Draft, will be representing Team Cherry tonight at the 2015 BMO Top Prospects Game in St. Catharine's, Ont.

Daniel Sprong and Filip Chlapik will play against Team Orr at 8 p.m. AST broadcasted live in Sportsnet.

It is the second straight year the Islanders will be represented at the annual event. Mason McDonald suited up for Team Orr last season, but was named to the team while a member of the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.
