The OHL Weekend Notebook recaps the weekend that was with news, information and interesting facts from both on and off the ice.
Storm take back-to-back wins over Otters
The Guelph Storm helped their quest to secure a playoff spot in the Western Conference, taking four points in a home-and-home with the Erie Otters. After picking up a point in an OT loss to the London Knights on Tuesday, Guelph poured it on for seven goals, powered by a Valentin Zhugin hat trick, against the Otters at home on Friday. The Storm followed that up with a 4-3 comeback win in Erie on Saturday as Braeden Bowman scored twice and Matthew Poitras had three assists. Rookie netminder Brayden Gillespie started all three games for the Storm, stopping 81 of the 89 shots that came his way. A former 11th round pick who has also spent time with the Ayr Centennials of the GOJHL this season, Gillespie is now 5-1-2-1.
