With the Charlottetown Islanders holding a 3-2 series lead, they will be looking to end the series tonight and move onto the second round for the first time since 2004.
The Islanders are coming off a 4-0 win on Friday in Game 5 that gives them their third lead in the series. Daryl MacCallum was fantastic between the pipes making 43 saves for his first career QMJHL shutout.
In a statement by the Islanders, Mason McDonald did not travel with the team to Sherbrooke, Que. McDonald was hurt five minutes into Game 3 last Monday. The team left for Sherbrooke at 7 a.m. on Saturday.
Sherbrooke has had a goaltending carousel of its own. The Phoenix started with Alex Bureau in Game 1 but was pulled in relief of Evan Fitzpatrick. After a Game 3 loss by Fitzpatrick, the Phoenix has gone back to Bureau.
Like every game this series, the Islanders will have to minimize their short-handed time and stay out of the box, especially on the road in an important game. Despite being on the penalty kill 33 times, the Islanders have only allowed six power play goals against and have the fifth best penalty kill in the playoffs at 81.1 per cent. On the other hand, the Islanders need to capitalize on its power plays.
