The Spitfires are in the Soo tonight as they battle the Greyhounds for first in the West Division.
The Spits are one point back of the Greyhounds, however Windsor has played two fewer games.
Windsor's missing several regulars, with Logan Brown, Logan Stanley, Gabe Vilardi, Cristiano DiGiacinto and Jeremiah Addison all out of the lineup.
Rookie winger Cole Purboo, who has six goals and two assists this season says "at the start of the season we had lots of guys at NHL camps, and now it's unfortunate but we're struggling with injuries, but it gives the younger guys an opportunity".
AM800's broadcast starts tonight at 6:45pm with game time at 7:07pm.
The Spits will play in Flint Saturday night and Sunday afternoon they'll take on Saginaw at 'The Joe'.
