East Ridge vs. Mounds View
7:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 12

East Ridge is sixth in the Suburban East Conference standings, but the Raptors could take a bite out of Mounds View's league league with a win on Thursday.

East Ridge (10-6, 5-3) enters the week off victories over Duluth and Roseville by a combined score of 11-3, and the Raptors will need to continue their strong play to upend the Mustangs.

Grace Heiting (15-11-26) figures to be key for East Ridge, with the junior forward ranking third in goals (8) and second in points (13) in the conference.

Mounds View (11-4, 8-1) rebounded from its first conference loss (a 3-1 defeat to No. 10-2A Cretin-Derham Hall on Jan. 3) with a 6-3 win over Roseville on Jan. 5, and to add another, the Mustangs might lean on sophomore goaltender Teagen Johnson (10-4, 1.95 goals-against average, .904 save percentage).
