Players to Watch:

Guelph Storm - Jake Karabela

With 12 points in 14 games Karabela has been a big contributor to the offensive success this season. He is tied for 3rd in rookie scoring with his 12 points and is currently on a 3-game point streak which has seen him put up 3 points in 3 games. Karabela is our player to watch, as the Storm look to continue the winning.

Erie Otters - Elias Cohen

Cohen currently sits at a point per game with his 11 points in 11 games. Leading the team in points and goals is an example of the offensive contributions he can bring to his team. Cohen was able to have an 8-game point streak where he put up all of his 11 points, but this was broken last game against the Sting.
