Update On Standings And Previewing Tonight’s Game Vs Barrie

CURRENT STANDINGS IN THE EAST

First is Peterborough, the only team in the Eastern Conference to have secured a play-off spot at this point, with 76 points. They’ve been on a run lately, winning 6 straight, and 5 of these games were against divisional rivals: Kingston, Oshawa, and Belleville.

Second is Brampton with 72 PTS and 3 straight wins.


Third is Mississauga with 69 PTS and no streaks – one previous win.


Fourth is Barrie with 68 PTS and a three game winning streak. (And hopefully this streak will come to an end tonight whey they play Ottawa.)


Fifth is Sudbury with 64 PTS, with no streaks – just one previous loss.


Sixth is Ottawa with 63 PTS. And as we all know, they’re on a 3 game losing streak.


Seventh is Belleville with 62 PTS, also with no streaks – just one previous loss.


Eighth is Toronto with 61 PTS and a 2 game losing streak.


And finally, ninth is Kingston with 57 PTS, and similar to Ottawa a 3 game losing streak.


Oshawa is not a factor in this season’s play-off race. They have a measly 30 PTS on the season. And they are on an 11 – yes, 11 – game losing streak. Yikes!


PREVIEWING TONIGHT’S GAME VS BARRIE

Tonight Ottawa plays Barrie at home. They have met 3 times so far this season, tonight’s game being 4/4: Mancari played a big role in the last meeting against Barrie. He had 2G, 1A, and was TEAM 1200 third star. He was also the lone goal scorer in game they lost in October. It is obviously a good thing that he’ll be back from his 4 game suspension tonight.

For the October 22 win, Petruzalek had a good game. He had 2G, 1A, and OHL first star. Let’s hope that he has another game like this in tonight’s meeting.

The Barrie players that stood out in previous games, and are on a tear:
  • Bryan Little – 54GP, 30G, 31A, 61PTS, 19+/-, 22PIM
  • Rob Hisey – 58GP, 25G, 50A, 75PTS, 67PIM; 10th in OHL Leading Scorers
  • B.J. Crombeen – 55GP, 27G, 16A, 43PTS, 93PIM
  • Travis Fuller – 60GP, 21G, 26A, 47PTS, 16PIM
  • Scott Hotham – 54GP, 8G, 32A, 40PTS, 66PIM
