HW Toronto HL W 6- foot- 0

: HL W 185 pounds

L L W H H The red- hot ting captain racked up 11 points in three games, including the winner in a five- point effort at Oshawa. He had three assists in Flint and then delivered a three- point performanc­e in busting the oo reyhounds' impressive streak of 29 games

without a regulation loss. The Hounds' previous 60- minute defeat was to Kyrou and Co. on Oct. 27.

W The fourth- year forward left for Canadian world junior camp with a healthy lead in the OHL scoring race. He surrendere­d it to oo reyhounds star Morgan Frost while he was in Buffalo winning gold. But the big week has propelled him back to the top. If you win the OHL scoring crown after world junior duty, you've had a spectacula­r season.

H H Kyrou is averaging 2.09 points per game. No one else is even close. Hamilton centre obert Thomas, the former London captain and also a Blues prospect, is next at 1.69 per game. As a comparison, Connor McDavid recorded 2.55 points per game in his third and final OHL season ( 2014- 15). He ended up winning the league MVP. Kyrou will be in that conversati­on this year.
