Match report
North Bay Battalion met Mississauga Steelheads in the Ontario Hockey League on 24 September 2026. The game finished 2:2, a result that kept both sides level on points at zero after three games each. To be fair, neither side had much to build on going into this fixture.
Our prediction had backed the hosts for a win, giving 68 per cent confidence. And here's the thing — the forecast did not come off. Mississauga found a way to stay in the game, and North Bay could not close it out.
The home side sits fifth in the table, while the visitors occupy tenth place. By then both clubs carried the same weight in the standings: zero points from three matches. The draw extended a pattern rather than breaking one.
North Bay's recent run included a heavy 7:2 defeat to Oshawa Generals on 20 September, followed by a 2:1 win over Barrie Colts two days earlier. Mississauga had lost to Niagara IceDogs 4:1 on 19 September before falling 3:2 to Oshawa on the 18th. Neither side arrived with momentum.
What this means is simple enough. The hosts remain in the middle of the pack, while the Steelheads continue to look for their first point of the season. The draw rescued something for Mississauga, and it kept North Bay from extending a losing streak that would have drawn attention.
