Erie Otters 4 @ Barrie Colts 7
LW/C Alex Hutchings, BAR: 1-1-2, +2, 2 PIM (slashing)

Panik scored the game's first goal, which turned out to be the game winner, midway through the second period as Windsor shut out rival London. Panik has a modest two game point streak, but is plus-4 during that time and plus-6 over his last three games.

Oshawa Generals 5 @ Barrie Colts 6
G Michael Zador, OSH: Did not play.
Season: 3 GP, 1-1-1-0, 5.50 GAA, 8.42 sv%
Barrie Colts 2 @ Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors 6
LW/C Alex Hutchings, BAR: 2-0-2, E, 0 PIM, *Third Star*
Season totals: 8 GP, 5-6-11, +3, 2 PIM

Barrie was down 5-1 halfway through the second period when Hutchings (pictured) scored his first of the game to make it 5-2 going into the second intermission. The Colts came out strong in the third, scoring four times – including Hutchings’ fifth of the season to tie the game at 15:29. Alexander Burmistrov (2010 draft) scored with 31 seconds left to give Barrie the win. Michael Zador sat for the fourth straight game for Oshawa in favor of fellow OHL first rounder Kevin Bailie. The Generals coaching staff said this week in the papers their goaltending has been “okay” so far this year, but it doesn’t appear Zador, who started the year as the No.1, has been okay enough to get his job back. Perhaps Oshawa’s meltdown in Barrie will give him another chance.

OHL

Barrie Colts 2 @ Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors 6
LW/C Alex Hutchings, BAR: 0-1-1, E, 2 PIM (high sticking)
Season totals: 7 GP, 3-6-9, +3, 2 PIM

G Michael Zador, OSH: Back-up.
Season: 3 GP, 1-1-1-0, 5.50 GAA, 8.42 sv%

Sointu continued his tour of playing fellow Lightning prospects this weekend – sort of – as Zador watched from the bench for the third straight game. Ottawa scored with just over a minute left in the game to force overtime. Sointu is tied for the team lead in plus/minus.

Ashton has five goals in his last three games ... The Soo keeps rolling ... Hutchings vs. Sointu.

OHL

Plymouth Whalers 2 @ Barrie Colts 3

Oshawa Generals 4 @ Peterborough Petes 5
G Michael Zador, OSH: Did not play.
Season totals: 3 GP, 1-1-1, 5.50 GAA, .842 sv%, 0 SO

Zador sat a second straight game after a poor start to the season. His partner in net, Kevin Bailie, hasn’t faired much better for the Generals. Oshawa outshot the Petes 50-33.

Note: Lightning prospect Kyle DeCoste will not play Friday night as he is serving the second game of a two game suspension for abuse of an official.
