ST. CLOUD, MN. / WATERTOWN, SD.
The Watertown Shamrocks are set to face off against the St. Cloud Norsemen in an exciting matchup as they look to rebound from a tough shootout loss against Aberdeen. With a record of 17-32-2-3, the Shamrocks will aim to build momentum and close out the season strong. Key players like Spencer Sasenbury, who netted two goals in the last game, and Travis Lefere, who has been a consistent playmaker, will be crucial in Watertown’s offensive efforts. Goaltenders Mason Gudridge and Phil Lachat have been solid between the pipes, and they will need to be sharp against a Norsemen squad that can capitalize on scoring chances.
St. Cloud comes into the contest looking to continue their own push in the standings, bringing depth and physicality to the ice. Watertown will need to stay disciplined, as penalties have played a factor in recent games. Special teams could be a difference-maker, with the Shamrocks holding a slightly stronger penalty-killing percentage. If Watertown can find success on the power play and tighten up defensively, they have a strong chance to secure two points. Expect a fast-paced, hard-fought battle as these teams clash in what should be a thrilling showdown.
The Shamrocks will travel to St. Cloud on Thursday, April 3rd to take on the Norsemen at 7:00pm and be back at on home ice Friday, April 4th at 7:00pm.
