GAME NOTES
Top Prospects The Mississauga Steelheads may be fighting for their playoff lives in their final game of the 2012-2013 regular season. The Steelheads will look to a trio of NHL drafted defenseman; Stuart Percy (1st RND -Tor), Trevor Carrick (4th RND- Car), and Dylan DeMelo (6th RND-SJ) to try and shut down the 67's . The forwards to keep an eye on for the Steelheads are local Ottawa boy and overager Riley Brace, who leads the team with 71 points, and Josh Burnside who is ranked 92nd by CSS. Steelheads goalie Martin Spencer is also ranked for the upcoming NHL draft. This will be the final time this season that 67's fans will get to see their CSS ranked players; Sean Monahan, Sergey Kuptsov and Jacob Blair.
