Between the pipes, North Bay's Kenny Appleby has taken over the starting goaltender duties from Daniel Altschuler and is leading the OHL in 3 goaltending categories including wins, save percentage and goals against average.
The Battalion sit in 2nd place in the Central Diviision and 4th overall in the Eastern Conference with a 4-1-3-0 record.
