The third round of the Ontario Hockey League playoffs gets going on Apr. 26.
London Knights and the Saginaw Spirit were the OHL’s best in the regular season. With a win over Guelph on the final day of the schedule, London edged the Saginaw Spirit by two points for top spot in the overall standings and captured the Hamilton Spectator Trophy.Historically this is the fourth meeting between the teams in the playoffs. All of them took place from 2009 to 2013 and London won all three.
Saginaw also gets offence from their defence but their biggest question mark comes from that side of the ice as well. In the playoffs, Jacob Julien and Kasper Halttunen have become hot. Julien is coming off back-to-back hat tricks and Halttunen is second on the Knights with six goals in eight games.
