Finding recent heat is Cam Allen who was able to find the back of the net last game and is riding a 3-game point streak heading into tonight's game, he has been able to total 5 points over the 7 games so far in the season. He would be a defenceman to look out for as he continues to make an impact for the team.

The Spitfires coming into tonight's matchup are coming off a two-game losing streak which saw them lose to Owen Sound and Kitchener.

Players to Watch:

Guelph Storm - Cam Allen

After being selected 3rd overall in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection, Allen has found his groove and is finding the net more and more. Allen currently has a 3 game point streak which consists of 2 goals and an assist over the 3 games, which gives him a season total of 5 points over the 7 games played. This is an impressive start for the rookie in his first OHL season and the player to watch as he comes into tonight's game looking to extend his point streak to 4.

Windsor Spitfires - Will Cuylle

In his 3rd season in the league and with the Spitfires, Cuylle has been a top player contributing offensively for the team. Cuylle was drafted in the second round in 2020 by the New York Rangers and is seen as a top player for this Windsor team, with 3 goals and 5 points in 7 games this season he is expected to continue being a goal threat and produce for Windsor. He is the player to watch tonight as he goes to increase his season totals and help lead his team to victory tonight.
