The road trip comes after second-year forward Ty Collins was traded to the Mississauga Steelheads earlier in the week.
Guelph received a pair of draft picks in the move which allowed the team to get down to 13 forwards, making room for some younger players who have seen limited ice time so far this season.
The Storm have won their last three — the most recent a 4-0 victory over the Steelheads on Oct. 27 — and have outscored their opponents 17-6 during that stretch.

They will meet a struggling Greyhounds team, but one that have historically had the Storm’s number.
The Soo have lost their last three and are 2-7-1 over ten games, but they are 8-0 against Guelph at home in the last five seasons.
The Storm will then get a good look at forward Cole Perfetti on Saturday night against the Spirit. Perfetti is projected to be a top-10 pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.
