Scouting Reports

WHL:  Medicine Hat (3) @ Calgary (2)

Great pace to this game, not a lot of whistles. Good physicality out of both teams, Calgary had more chances and grade A’s, but the game was decently even overall and very back and forth with limited shots to start. As the game went on, the chances picked up with fatigue. Med hat allowed a late power play goal to send it to overtime, and the Ruck brothers connected on a delayed penalty to win.

WHL:  Brandon (6) @ Moose Jaw (4)

Grayson Burzynski is an offensive defenseman who reads plays well and consistently attacks with his forwards. Both of his goals tonight came from sneaking backdoor as his forwards rolled high, burying rebounds that popped out to him. His breakouts were crisp and simple-finding teammates early before joining the rush

QMJHL:  Baie-Comeau (1) @ Rouyn-Noranda (0)

Strong team defense and standout goaltending defined this 1–0 game tonight. Both sides were disciplined and organized in their own end, and that carried over to special teams, despite seven total power plays, neither team was able to convert. The lone goal came back in the first period, and from that point on, it was a full game commitment to structure and defensive detail that kept the score from moving.

OHL:  Saginaw (4) @ Flint (5)

The Saginaw Spirit visited the Flint Firebirds for a high-energy matchup that turned into a back-and-forth offensive showcase.

WHL:  Swift Current (5) @ Seattle (8)

Despite the high score, this game did not see a decisive goal until late in the third period.

OHL:  Peterborough (1) @ Barrie (3)

Peterborough travelled to Barrie and the two teams played an up and down the ice game with lots of shots on net in both directions.

Barrie had 8 powerplays in the game and was able to score on one of them.

QMJHL:  Québec (5) @ Charlottetown (2)

WHL:  Moose Jaw (3) @ Swift Current (4)

This game was back and forth for most of the night, but Swift Current had more dangerous chances and more grade A’s.

In the end, it was the Oil Kings who found a way to grab the extra point, sealing the win in the shootout.

QMJHL:  Moncton (6) @ Rimouski (0)

For the final score to end up where it did, this game actually started off relatively slow, with Rimouski trailing just 1–0 after the first period.

WHL:  Prince Albert (4) @ Everett (1)

Prince Albert took control of this game early and scored four goals before Everett was able to get on the board. One of the more surprising aspects of the game was that the Raiders went 0 for 6 on the power play still coming away with a decisive win.

OHL:  Ottawa (5) @ Erie (2)

On November 7, 2025, the Ottawa 67’s hit the road to face the Erie Otters.
