"On Tuesday night, Jack Pridham of the Kitchener Rangers scored two goals - one short-handed, one on the power play - to give him 45 goals on the year. That moved him into first place in the OHL scoring race. On Wednesday night, Marek Vanacker answered with two goals of his own - one on the power play, one at even strength - to take the lead back."
"They're both heating up as the OHL season nears its end. Pridham has scored eight goals in his last six games. Vanacker, meanwhile, has scored in 9 of his last 15 games. Both Blackhawks prospects have been lethal on the power play this year."
"What's better than just two players putting up huge offensive numbers? How about winning while they do it! With Brantford's win on Wednesday night, the Bulldogs clinched the first seed in the OHL's Eastern Conference. With Kitchener's win on Tuesday night, the Rangers clinched the top seed in the Western Conference."
