OHL Notebook: Dec. 16th, 2025
Here’s a look at some of the top storylines from a busy weekend across the league:
David Egorov Records Shutout
Brantford Bulldogs netminder David Egorov turned aside all 39 shots he faced in a 2-0 win over the defending Memorial Cup champion London Knights. Brantford killed all six London power plays despite being outshot 39-22. The loss marked London’s first shutout defeat since Mar. 12, 2023, in North Bay. The Bulldogs remain atop the OHL standings at 23-3-4-1, even with seven players away at World Junior camps.
A shutout at home 🔒

Ottawa Climbing the Standings
A perfect 2-0-0-0 week and a four‑game winning streak have pulled the Ottawa 67’s within three points of Brantford for first in the Eastern Conference. Ottawa and Brantford now share the league lead with 23 wins. The 67’s continue to set the defensive benchmark, allowing just 2.37 goals per game – the best mark in the OHL and across the CHL. Ottawa has won eight of its last 10 and has only two losses in 13 home games.
