London Knights 3 @ Peterborough Petes 5
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 1-1-2, +1, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 31 GP, 17-23-40, +10, 28 PIM

Namestnikov scored at about the 1:00 mark of the first period – his 17th of the season – then assisted on Seth Griffith’s 25th of the year later in the game but it wasn’t enough for the CHL’s top ranked team to beat the Petes. Namestnikov failed to convert a penalty shot attempt in the game.

Owen Sound Attack 6 @ Windsor Spitfires 4

D Geoffrey Schemitsch, OS: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 21 GP, 0-7-7, -1, 16 PIM

He’s back! Though he was scoreless in the game, Schemitsch (pictured) played his first game since being injured November 12. His name has been mentioned in the local press for being possible trade bait as Owen Sound looks toward the future.

This season Bolt Prospects introduced our Prospect of the Week award, an honor (virtually) given to one Tampa Bay Lightning prospect for their on-ice contributions. There are no trophies or plaques, but we’re fairly certain Brendan Shanahan will make a video about it.

Quite simply, we wanted to highlight prospects throughout the year to help fans get better acquainted with the next round of Lightning stars while recognizing the prospect’s achievement on the ice.

This week’s BP Prospect of the Week award goes to … our first repeat winner, Vladislav Namestnikov, Center, London Knights (OHL – Canada)

D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM, 2 SOG, 0 Hits
Season Totals: 28 GP, 2-16-18, E, 27 PIM

The Olympiques scored to take a 3-1 lead in the third period then gave up a goal 22 seconds later. They were able to hang on for the win.

Moncton Wildcats 1 @ Chicoutimi Sagueneens 7

D Daniel Milan, MON: 0-0-0, -1, 2 PIM (high sticking), 1 SOG, 0 Hits
Season Totals: 28 GP, 0-4-4, -8, 27 PIM

Milan’s scoreless streak hit 10 games in a loss to the Sags. The Wildcats seem lost without captain Brandon Gormley, who is with Team Canada for the World Junior Championships.

OHL

London Knights 2 @ Guelph Storm 1
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 30 GP, 16-22-38, +9, 28 PIM

Namestnikov earned an assist on Lightning camper Seth Griffith’s 24th goal of the season that tied the game at 1. Tie Domi’s son Max won the game for the Knights in overtime – his 12th goal of the year. With 44 points in 31 games Griffith (pictured) is seventh in the league in scoring. He had 62 points (22 goals) in 68 games last year before joining the Lightning for prospect and rookie camp as a free agent invitee. It is still possible he could be signed by the Lightning after the new year. Someone is going to get him.

USHL

Des Moines Buccaneers 5 @ Tri-City Storm 3

G Adam Wilcox, TC: Loss, 28 saves on 32 shots
Season Totals (with Tri-City): 5 GP, 1-4-0, 3.22 GAA, .910 sv%, 0 SO
Season Totals (with Green Bay): 9 GP, 7-2-0, 2.27 GAA, .918 sv%, 2 SO

After winning his first game as a member of the Storm, Wilcox has dropped his last four, though he has managed to maintain a respectable save percentage through the slump.

QMJHL

Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 2 @ Gatineau Olympiques 5

D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-1-1, E, 2 PIM (hooking), 3 SOG, 1 Hit
Season Totals: 27 GP, 2-16-18, +1, 27 PIM

Gatineau broke a four game losing streak and Janosik snapped a five game scoreless streak as the Olympiques avenged an overtime loss to the Eagles earlier in the week with a 5-2 home win Friday. Emile Poirier (2013 draft) had a hat trick for Gatineau, which doubled the rookie’s goal output for the year. Janosik, as expected, was named to Team Slovakia’s preliminary roster for the upcoming U20 World Junior Championships. He had five assists in six games for Slovakia at last year’s WJCs.

OHL

Peterborough Petes 4 @ London Knights 7
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-4-4, -1, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 30 GP, 16-21-37, +9, 28 PIM

Namestnikov (pictured) tied a career high with four points and his linemate (and Lightning camper) Seth Griffith had a hat trick and an assist to lead London to a 7-4 home win over the Petes. Namestnikov’s four points were a season high for him, but he had a four point game (3+1) last February against Barrie. His four assists in the game were a career high.

OHL

London Knights 2 @ Kitchener Rangers 4
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-0-0, -2, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 27 GP, 16-18-34, +13, 28 PIM

Namestnikov was a game-time decision because of the flu, but gave the okay-to-go after warm-ups. Unfortunately for him and the Knights, they fell to Kitchener for the second time this season. The game was played in Kitchener at "The Aud" (pictured). Namestnikov, who was left off the Russian preliminary U20 World Junior Championship roster earlier in the day (he’s expected to join the team when they get to Canada), was scoreless for the second game in a row. Lightning camper Seth Griffith scored his 20th of the season in the game. London is just four points up on Kitchener for first in the OHL’s Midwest Division.
