Heading into the final week of the CHL season there are still playoff and scoring races yet to be decided in the OHL, WHL, and QMJHL as teams gear up towards the playoffs.
With one week remaining in the CHL regular season, there are still plenty of questions that need to be answered as teams gear up towards their respective playoffs.
“The Steelheads understood where they were and recognized that they weren’t a legitimate last season,” said TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button. “They built a cycle where they could remain competitive but give themselves an opportunity to become legitimate.” North Bay enters the final three games of the season after a disappointing 4-3 overtime loss to the Kingston Frontenacs on Sunday. They are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games.
Romani, 18, is having a breakout season, recording 53 goals and 105 points in 65 games, toppling his previous career high of 43 points. His 53 goals also put him one ahead of Kitchener Rangers star Carson Rehkopf for the league lead.“ has two more cracks at the draft,” said Button. “When you score 50 goals and push to the level that he has, I don’t think there’s going to be any doubt that he’ll be drafted.
The Voltigeurs enter the final week on a four-game winning streak after defeating the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and Rimouski Oceanic over the weekend. They are 6-4-0 in their last 10 games. The Huskies won the West Division with a 44-15-6 record this season and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games, including wins over the Shawinigan Cataractes and Gatineau Olympiques over the weekend.
The other race in the QMJHL is the battle between the Remparts and Saint John Sea Dogs for the final available playoff spot. The Sea Dogs enter the final stretch of the season having only won two of their last 10 games. They take on the Moncton Wildcats on Wednesday and finish off the season with back-to-back home games against the Halifax Mooseheads.
After being passed over twice in the NHL draft, the Coldstream, B.C., native was able to use his breakout success this season to sign an entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals at the beginning of March. Prince George won the B.C. Division with a 47-15-4 record and have a two-point advantage over the Winterhawks at the top of the conference. With the Cougars and Winterhawks splitting their season series, if the two teams end up tied at the end of the season, point differential will be the next tiebreak.
