Rock vs Bandits this Thursday night.

There will be eight members of the Peterborough Lakers battling it out in a rare Thursday night NLL game.

The first place Toronto Rock (6-2) host the Buffalo Bandits (4-3) in a Eastern divisional showdown.  Both teams will be fresh coming off a bye week -- This is the first game back in Toronto for the Bandits  since the Rock knocked out of the first round of 2012 playoffs with a narrow 7-6 victory.

The Rock travelled to Buffalo in week 5 and beat the Bandits 14-12.

Goaltending will be the key to game. This is a highlight matchup of two of the games best ball stopped.  Anthony Cosmo has been a steady force for the Bandits and Nick Rose on the end has been the same for of the Rock.

Both teams defensively are strong and hold their opponents outside,  taking away the middle of the floor and they rely ont their goalies to stop the outside shots.

Nick Rose leads the NLL with six wins and has looked solid for the Rock postin.800 save percentage, the third best in the league. The veteran Cosmo has .753 save percentage and makes a case a the best goalie when he's on his game.

Penalty trouble has hurt the Bandits this season amounting to a couple blown leads and losses. The Rock's powerplay can be devastate their opponents--running close to the 60 per cent.

Lakers in the lineup for the Rock, is Scott Evans, Mike Hobbins and Chris White.

For the Bandits, Tracy Kelusky, Mark Steinhuis Chad Culp and Jimmy Purves. John Tavares remains a game time decision. He's been on the injured reserve since week five, missing the last three Bandits games with lingering leg injury.
