Starting first in the OHL, Sharks Prospects Jamie McGinn and Logan Couture of the Ottawa 67's played in two games this week. They started the weekend by losing in a shootout to Niagara 5-4. Captain McGinn logged one goal and one assist while Assistant Captain Couture logged three assists. Even though both were stopped by Andrew Loverock in the shootout, they were named the first and second stars of the night. The 67's returned to the ice on Sunday against Kingston and won 4-3, again in a shootout. Both McGinn and Couture logged one assist during the game and McGinn had the shootout winner as he beat Jason Guy in the second round while 67's Chris Perugini held the visitors at bay.
Couture is currently T-8th in OHL scoring with 1G-8A-9P in 5GP. McGinn is T-17th in OHL scoring with 3G-3A-6P in 5GP.

In the Quebec league, goalie Timo Pielmeier has gotten off to a rough start and was pulled from Friday's game against Cape Breton after allowing three goals on 12 shots. He did not play in the rematch on Saturday as Jake Allen blanked Cape Breton on 23 shots in a 4-0 St. John's win. The Fog Devils have back to back games this week, so hopefully Pielmeier gets another chance soon.
Currently Pielmeier is 1W-4L with a 86.4SV% and 4.40GAA, both of which rank in the bottom-15 of the QMJHL goaltenders, though his 245 minutes played rank first among QMJHL rookie netminders.

On the season Wishart has 2G-2A-4P in 3GP which is T-12th in WHL defender scoring.

On Sunday Vancouver travelled to Chilliwack and Sexsmith stopped 21 of 23 shots against in regulation, but he allowed a goal to the fourth shootout skater, Mark Santorelli, while Matt Esposito was perfect in the shootout for the Bruins.
