CHL

John Tavares' storybook season continued as the league's hot player set the benchmark for career goals in the OHL with 215. Meanwhile, the Drummondville Voltigeurs in the QMJHL became the first team in nearly two months to hand a loss to the Rimouski Océanic.

Ontario Hockey League

Hot team: London Knights

The Knights finally figured out the Windsor Spitfires. After having lost all five previous games to the regular-season champion Spitfires, London finally got the upper hand Sunday in winning their seventh-consecutive game. Although Windsor played backup Josh Unice in the game, the Knights are hitting their stride at the right time. Should London gather three of four points in their last two games, the franchise will hit the 100-point plateau for the fifth time in six seasons.

Hot player: John Tavares, London Knights

Tavares left nothing to chance, breaking Peter Lee's long-time career goals record with a week remaining in what could be his final OHL season. The projected top pick in this summer's NHL entry draft scored six times and added four assists for 10 points in three games. He scored a hat trick in London's only win over the Windsor Spitfires Sunday, beating the record in the process.

Cold team: Sudbury Wolves

The young Wolves picked the wrong time for a slump. Trailing Peterborough and Oshawa by a point for the final two playoff spots, Sudbury's losing streak hit four games, all in regulation. Sudbury is trying to make it back into the playoffs for the first time since their magical and unpredictable march to the finals two seasons ago. It won't get any easier as the Wolves will meet Belleville, Niagara and Mississauga in their final three games.

Cold player: Alex Pietrangelo, Niagara IceDogs

The first-round pick of the St. Louis Blues was one of many struggling IceDogs last week. In two games, the offensive defenceman failed to pick up a point which is overshadowed by his minus-6 rating. Although his team will likely still make the playoffs, Pietrangelo needs to be the steady, calming influence for his younger teammates.

Game of the week: Sudbury Wolves vs. Mississauga St. Michael's Majors, Sunday

The importance of this game will depend on the previous games of the week but if the Peterborough Petes and Oshawa Generals hit the skids, the Wolves could have the opportunity to make the playoffs with a win Sunday. Mississauga already has their playoff spot wrapped up and has an outside shot at finishing third in the Eastern Conference. Regardless, they will still have home ice in the first round. The Wolves will need a stronger effort from their sputtering offence. Many of their snipers have been cold down the stretch, one of the reasons their fate will be determined in the final week.

Western Hockey League

Hot team: Kelowna Rockets

One of the top teams that don't get the credit they deserve, Kelowna could be one dangerous team when the playoffs begin in two weeks. Kelowna is riding a four-game winning-streak after beating some top teams in Spokane and Vancouver last week. The Rockets have climbed into third in the Western Conference standings, one point ahead of Spokane whom they play in their final game of the season on Sunday.

Hot player: Linden Vey, Medicine Hat Tigers

Younger brother of former Tri-City American Shaun Vey, Linden has turned into one of the most consistent performers for the Tigers in his sophomore season. Through four games, Vey scored twice and added five assists for seven points. Medicine Hat always finds ways to win in spite of losing top players each season. Vey could soon be their next potent scoring threat after the graduation of Tyler Ennis.

Cold team: Moose Jaw Warriors

The losses kept mounting for the rebuilding Moose Jaw Warriors last week. Moose Jaw lost all four games to Medicine Hat, Swift Current, Brandon and Regina. The closest margin was a 7-4 loss to the Wheat Kings on Friday. With three games left, Moose Jaw has little beyond draft position left to play for this season.

Cold player: Casey Pierro-Zabotel, Vancouver Giants

The league's leading scorer had an off week by his standards. The overage forward was held to just one goal through four games with an even plus-minus. Pierro-Zabotel failed to reach a point in his final three games last week, including his team's pivotal matchup against the Calgary Hitmen. With 111 points so far, Pierro-Zabotel is the front-runner to lead the league in points as Calgary's Brandon Kozun trails by five points.

Game of the week: Regina Pats vs. Prince Albert Raiders, Wednesday

If the Regina Pats have any hopes of making the playoffs this season, this is a must-win game. The Pats, Raiders and Edmonton Oil Kings are going down to the wire for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Edmonton has the inside track with a two-point lead on Prince Albert and a five-point advantage over Regina with each team having three games remaining on their schedule. A Regina loss would all but eliminate them while a Prince Albert win could give the Raiders the opportunity to clinch the final berth. Edmonton hosts Kootenay Wednesday and with a win would eliminate Regina.

Québec Major Junior Hockey League

Hot team: Drummondville Voltigeurs

The storybook tale of worst to first is almost complete. The Drummondville Voltigeurs all but clinched first overall in the league standings with the Shawinigan Cataractes' loss to Québec on Friday. Winners of their last five games and eight of their last 10, the Voltigeurs' magic number to finish first overall is one. Their 5-4 win at Rimouski Sunday ended the Océanic's 17-game winning streak.

Hot player: Keven Veilleux, Rimouski Océanic

Rimouski head coach Clément Jodoin offered his power forward an ultimatum last week and the 19-year old stepped up and delivered. In three games, Veilleux scored three goals while adding six assists with a plus-4 rating. He scored the insurance marker against Québec Wednesday in a huge tilt between the Telus Eastern Division rivals.

Cold team: Acadie-Bathurst Titan/
