CWHL Weekend preview: Canadiennes face off vs. surging Thunder

The 13-3-2 Canadiennes head to Brampton having already clinched a playoff spot, sitting six points back of the first place Calgary Inferno to face the Thunder (9-9-2).

Montreal, who was off last weekend, have two games in hand, which they will have made up by the end of the weekend.

The Thunder are in a battle for third place with the Toronto Furies, who take on the Boston Blades this weekend, likely making at least a series split against Montreal a necessity if they want to hold on to their position in the standings.
