Trottier Back on Ice For Norsemen Tonight
Special to Buffalo Evening News
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., March 24 — Player-coach Guy Trottier, who scored seven game-winning goals for the Buffalo Norsemen this season, will be back on the ice this evening after a four-game absence. And the team needs him.
The Norsemen clash with the Johnstown Jets here in the third game of their best-of-five Lockhart Cup quarter-final playoff series. Each has one victory.
The series shifts to the Tonawanda Sports Center tomorrow evening at 7:45, with a fifth game in Jamestown Saturday if necessary.
Trottier, who missed the last two games of the North American Hockey League regular season and the first two playoff games with a back injury, takes the place of defenseman Greg Neeld.
Neeld drew a game misconduct Monday for hurling his stick into the stands after the game.
Trottier scored 58 points in 57 games for Buffalo this season, including 15 power-play goals. Buffalo has been unable to capitalize during power-plays against the rough, penalty-prone Jets.
