CHL Storylines: Knights, Generals hold strangleholds in OHL conference finals

The Canadian Hockey League’s conference finals are underway as teams push to reach their league finals.

The 5-foot-10 winger was second on the team in scoring in the regular season with 34 goals and 96 points and has added four goals and 14 points in the postseason. Goaltender Michael Simpson has been outstanding for the Knights in the series, only allowing more than three goals in the one loss to the Spirit. Simpson was acquired by the Knights in September from the Peterborough Petes after he starred in last year’s playoffs and was named playoff MVP in Peterborough.

One of the major advantages the Knights have had heading into their series against the Spirit is that they’ve had the benefit of rest. London swept through the first two rounds against the Flint Firebirds and Kitchener Rangers. Saginaw was also without star defenceman Zayne Parekh in the final two games against the Soo and the first two games against the Knights. Parekh left Game 6 against the Greyhounds after an altercation with Greyhounds forward Marco Mignosa and had to be helped off the ice.

London has the opportunity to finish off the Spirit and advance to J. Ross Robertston Cup Final in Game 5 on Friday. Sennecke has scored in bunches throughout the playoffs, recording eight multipoint games and has failed to record a point only once. Through four games against the Warriors, Anaheim Ducks prospect Yegor Sidorov leads the team with three goals and five points, including the overtime winner in Game 4’s 5-4 victory.

Lisowsky has six goals and 16 points in the playoffs after recording 42 goals and 80 points in 68 regular season games. The 5-foot-11 centre is back at the top of the WHL leaderboard in the playoffs with 10 goals and 24 points through 13 games. Firkus has a goal and six points through four games against the Blades.

“ has superb poise, drive, and he’s a general out there on the blueline,” said Button. “He has a willingness to be a driver and push the game offensively and defensively.” “Danielson is a fascinating type of player because he’s built for these types of playoff series,” said Button. “He’s someone who is relentless and unwilling to give into any of the challenges in front of him, which permeates through the team.”
