Players to Watch

Kingston - Cedrick Guindon (#93)

What else can you say about Cedrick Guindon at this point? He's been as advertised and then some; a centreman that can play in all situations, win faceoffs, be relied upon against the opposition's top units, and an incredible leader in the locker room. Guindon moves into third all-time on the OHL's iron man streak tonight, an amazing accomplishment. He has not missed a game in his OHL career having played in 266 games as of writing, and is just under a point per game with 264 points.

Ottawa - Luca Pinelli (#20)

Another long time foe of the Frontenacs is back tonight as 67's captain Luca Pinelli is looking to continue his strong performances against the black and gold this season. Pinelli has 11 points in 6 games against Kingston this season and is leading the charge for his team in scoring on the season to boot. The Columbus Blue Jackets prospect has 63 points in 46 games which is impressive for a team on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. Pinelli's Ottawa 67's are four points back of the North Bay Battalion for 8th in the Eastern Conference and both teams have six games left in their respective schedules. For only having 21 wins on the season, the 67's have played the Frontenacs incredibly well this season. If anyone is going to play spoiler tonight, look no further than Luca Pinelli.
