A few things to note

  • Goaltender Kari Lehtonen is only getting better after being drafted 2nd overall in 2002.
  • Beyond Lehtonen, goaltenders are struggling across the organization.
  • Karl Stewart is scoring at a very good pace, with 26 points in only 18 games. He’s the 11th leading scorer in the OHL.
  • Colin Stuart, Jim Slater, and Pat Dwyer lead all college prospects in scoring with 6 points each.
  • Milan Gajic is currently suspended from U of M for academic reasons.
  • Brad Schell returned from back surgery earlier than expected. He has played 3 games and has one point
