Juniors Underway

Last night, the four players that were reassigned to their junior clubs out of Panthers training camp played their first games of the season. Adam Comrie, A.J. Jenks, Corey Syvret and Colby Robak each saw action in their first games.

For Adam Comrie, his return to action came in Sarnia as his Saginaw Spirit took on the Sting. Saginaw won the game 4-1, and Comrie picked up two assists on the game. Early on in the game, he took a high sticking minor, but both of his assists came on power play goals. The Spirit stayed on the road and played again tonight, dropping the game 6-2 against Sault Ste. Marie. The Greyhounds scored their 6 goals on only 19 shots. Comrie, meanwhile, was a -2 on the night.

A.J. Jenks returned to Plymouth and his return was uneventful. No points, no penalties and even in plus/minus. The Whalers did, however, win the game 5-2. Saturday night's game came against Guelph, but Jenks didn't play. None of the articles about the games mention any injuries, though.

Corey Syvret was also on the winning team in his first game back in the OHL. Guelph rolled Erie 5-1. Syvret, a defenseman, only added the credit for four penalty minutes to the scorer's sheet; a two minute minor for interference and a two minute minor for tripping in the third. Tonight, Guelph played the game against Plymouth. Syvret added an assist, and a roughing minor, as the Storm won again, 5-3.

The fourth junior player sent back was Colby Robak, and Robak was the only player of the four sent to the WHL. Robak, a defenseman for the Brandon Wheat Kings, had a goal and an assist in his season debut, but he finished a -1 and the Wheat Kings fell to Moose Jaw by a score of 6-3. Tonight, Robak was blank in all categories.
