The Shooters put themselves back into contention in Cup competition. They have beaten Oshawa Flames in a League game last week and that is the team they have to beat for the 2nd place in Group A and a semi-final spot. Astros now have to play the best team in the league, Toronto Olympians and it could be another double digit game.
