The Newmarket Hurricanes will look for a third straight win and a chance to move up in the Central Division standings when the St. Michael’s Buzzers visit the Ray Twinney Complex tonight in Ontario Junior Hockey League action.

The Hurricanes (14-11-1) moved into fifth place in the eight-team division with a 2-1 overtime victory over the Cobourg Cougars Monday night in Cobourg.

The win also pushed Newmarket to within a single point of the fourth-place Toronto Jr. Canadiens.

Joel Hanley notched the game-winner against the Cougars on a powerplay in the third minute of the overtime period and netminder Jimmy Sarjeant turned aside 44 shots for the win.

Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, the Aurora Tigers host the North York Rangers in Phillips Division action tomorrow (7:30 p.m.) at the Aurora Community Centre.
