This was a high scoring, back and forth game where we got to see the depth from both teams. One of the crazier storylines was each team collecting a shorthanded goal but it was the five power plays that Edmonton was able to kill off that really set the tone. Could have easily gone the other way with that many special team chances but the Oil Kings were able to create the momentum a man down.
Highly entertaining game in front of every scout from all NHL teams .Played on January 14/26 in Peterborough
Peterborough travelled to Guelph and lost 3-2 in a shootout. The first period was messy with neither team connecting on passes and both teams started to find their stride in the second period. Peterborough tied the game with a minute left in the third period to send it to overtime and Guelph eventually won in a shootout. Here is a report of the best players from the game:
Saginaw scored a goal in the last minute of the third to pull ahead 4-3 and win the game. It was a game filled with penalties and 5 of the 7 goals were scored on the powerplay. Saginaw went 3 for 5 on the powerplay while they limited Brampton to just 2 goals in 9 their attempts.
A lot of the scoring tonight came on special teams, with three goals scored on the power play and two empty net goals late in the game. While the final score suggests a more decisive result, the game was far closer than it appears. It remained a one goal game with just over two minutes remaining before the Raiders added back to back empty netters to seal the win.
The Windsor Spitfires edged the Niagara IceDogs 2-1 in overtime in a tightly contested matchup defined by stellar goaltending. Michael Newlove (#30) for Niagara and Charlie Robertson (#77) for Windsor were outstanding at both ends of the ice, turning away chance after chance. With regulation unable to decide a winner, Windsor finally broke through in overtime to secure the victory.

In a true goaltender’s battle, the visiting Kamloops Blazers prevailed over the Kelowna Rockets 3-2, in a shootout. Logan Edmonstone got the win making 38 saves, while Josh Banini made 41 stops, many of the very difficult variety, for the loss. Josh Evaschesen scored the shootout winner for the Blazers while Nathan Behm had a goal and assist. Hayden Paupanekis and Hiroki Gojsic scored for the Rockets.
This surprisingly was a tied game two minutes into the third period. The score suggests otherwise but the Sagueneens scored in bunches late in the game that made it difficult for the Remparts to gain any momentum. This was a game of costly mistakes at a time that made it hard for the Remparts to recover.
The visiting Penticton Vees jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, with the Kelowna Rockets cutting it to one goal on four different occasions, but the Vees persisted for a 6-4 victory. Louis Wehmann and Brady Birnie led the way with two goals each for the victors. Hiroki Gojsic had three assists, while Shane Smith scored twice for the Rockets in a losing cause.
From the way the Royals were able to open the scoring with a minute left in the first period, you would think that early momentum would carry them for the next two periods. The Vees regrouped, and scored three unanswered goals along with a dominating puck possession performance for the win.
This low scoring game was defined by strong defensive play rather than offensive firepower. With one goal scored early and the other coming late, the outcome came down to which team could limit mistakes. It was a departure from the typically fast paced, offense heavy style seen in the QMJHL, but it allowed a different group of players to stand out.
The hometown Kelowna Rockets fired 61 shots at Vancouver goaltender Kelton Pyne, but it wasn’t until the third period when they broke through with three goals, beating the Giants 6-4. With three players away at the WJC, the Rockets got contributions from six different players on the score sheet Hayden Paupanekis, Shane Smith, Levi Benson, Mazden Leslie, Hiroki Gojsic, and Jaxon Kehrig all scored. Leonardo Domenichelli scored twice for the Giants.
This high scoring game featured constant back and forth action, with each period swinging momentum as both teams scored in bunches. Ultimately, it was the Wild who came out on top by taking advantage of key momentum shifts. Goaltending also played a major role for the Wild and despite the final score, the Chiefs nearly doubled them in shots, making the performance between the pipes more of a difference maker.
Youngstown and the Chicago Steel delivered an excellent, tightly contested matchup, trading scoring chances throughout regulation. Both goaltenders were sharp, turning aside high-quality looks and keeping the game deadlocked after sixty minutes. Extra time was needed to decide the winner, and Youngstown capitalized in overtime. Forward #91 Malachi McKinnon found the back of the net to end it, lifting Youngstown to a 3-2 overtime victory over the Steel.
A hard-hitting, back and forth game with lots of drama at the end. Sarnia tied the game with 6 seconds left in the third to send the game to overtime but Niagara scored early in OT to win it.
The Kingston Frontenacs made the most of their chances on Saturday night, scoring four goals on just 18 shots to defeat the Brampton Steelheads 4-2. Ty Robar (#28) led the way with a pair of goals, showcasing Kingston’s offensive efficiency. Despite being outshot, the Frontenacs capitalized on key opportunities and timely finishes to secure the road victory.
One of the more wild games in the season this year. With Everett trailing by two with under three minutes left in the game, they somehow found a way to tie the game up. That momentum carried into overtime where they were able to complete the comeback. The same player who tied the game up with seconds left, scored the over time winner, Landon DuPont.
Carson Campbell (#8) paced the Kitchener Rangers with a goal and an assist as they earned a convincing 5-2 road victory over the Sarnia Sting. The Rangers controlled the tempo throughout the night, generating sustained offensive pressure and limiting Sarnia’s chances to secure the win away from home.
This was a wild game that initially looked like it would be a runaway for the Halifax Mooseheads after they scored four unanswered goals. Saint John finally found their footing in the third period, erupting for three goals in a short stretch, but the late surge wasn’t enough as the Sea Dogs ultimately fell by one.
The visiting Prince George Cougars jumped out to a 2-1 lead over the hometown Penticton Vees, which they held for most of the first period, until Ryden Evers scored with 20 seconds left in the period. Brady Birnie then took over for the Vee’s scoring three unanswered goals, leading his team to a 5-2 victory. Aiden Foster had a goal and assist in a losing cause for the Cougars.
