From the CHL's article:
10. Flint Firebirds (OHL): After splitting their four games since the holiday break, the Flint Firebirds (26-9-2-2) have slipped to No. 10 in this week's CHL Top-10 Rankings. Flint earned wins over the Soo Greyhounds (3-1) and London Knights (5-0), but came up short against the Brampton Steelheads (2-1) and No. 9 Windsor Spitfires (4-1), who leapfrogged them in the standings. Overall, the Firebirds are 6-2-1-1 in their last 10 contests. Los Angeles Kings signee Jimmy Lombardi (22G-22A in 37 GP) helped spark the start of the new calendar year with two points (1G-1A) before adding an assist on Flint's lone goal versus Brampton, while the Firebirds also bolstered their roster over the break by acquiring former Niagara IceDogs captain and Winnipeg Jets prospect Kevin He and Calgary Flames prospect Jacob Battaglia (forrmerly of the Kingston Frontenacs) via trade. With additional help on the way-including the return of Darels Uljanskis from Latvia's World Juniors roster-Flint will look to steady itself this week during a home stand against the Sarnia Sting, Saginaw Spirit, and Kingston Frontenacs.
Games this week: vs. Sarnia (Jan. 7), vs. Saginaw (Jan. 9), vs. Kingston (Jan. 10)
