This an intriguing game with plenty of seeding ramifications for Section 3AA as Eastview pays a visit to Park of Cottage Grove.

Eastview is coming off a 3-2 loss to Lakeville South back on December 17th, giving the Lightning plenty of time to practice and prepare for their game against the Wolfpack. The Lightning is led at forward by senior John Kisch (2-16-18), as well as juniors Jordan Brothers (10-5-15) and Zach Wooten (3-10-13) which give Eastview two balanced scoring lines.
