Connor Chatham had no points, +1, and 4 shots over Windsor's final 2 playoff games as they ultimately fell to Kitchener 4-1. Chatham finishes the series with an assist and +1 in 5 games. While the drama in Flint and then a less featured role on Windsor didn't help, I still find his season to be a bit underwhelming. It will be interesting to see if the Devils decide to sign him and if it would be to a NHL or AHL deal. Chatham has 47 goals and 62 assists in 166 OHL regular season games.

The Sarnia - Sault Ste. Marie series continues to be wild as the teams are now tied 3-3. Pavel Zacha has been on fire so far and added 5 goals, 4 assists, +7, 12 PIM, 18 shots, and won 40/75 faceoffs in 4 games last week. Josh Jacobs had 4 assists, +6, 2 PIM, and 11 shots during that stretch for Sarnia. For the Soo, Blake Speers had 2 goals, 2 assists, -4, 18 shots, and won 26/47 faceoffs in 4 games last week. Colton White had a goal, -2, 4 PIM, and 7 shots during that time.

Mackenzie Blackwood and Barrie are currently tied with Mississauga 3-3 in their series. Blackwood made 34 saves on 37 shots in 82:31 of action in Game 3 last Tuesday before being injured in a collision and missing some time with a bruised tailbone. He returned in Game 6 where he stopped 29 of 32 shots in 53:49 of relief.

Brandon currently leads Edmonton 3-2 in their series. John Quenneville had 3 goals, 2 assists, and a +4 in 3 games last week. Brandon Baddock had no points, -2, and 10 PIM in that stretch.

Kamloops lost Game 7 to Kelowna last night 2-1 to finish their season. Ryan Rehill had 3 assists, -1, and 4 PIM over the final 5 games of the series last week. He stepped up in his final WHL season, continuing to eat a ton of ice time but also gaining a larger role on the PP which helped his point production. He profiles has a defensive defensemen at the pro level and I think may have done enough this year to earn himself a contract. It will be interesting to see what the Devils do. He finishes his WHL career with 21 goals, 61 assists, and 508 PIM in 249 regular season games.

Prospect of the Week

With 5 goals and 4 assists in 4 games last week, Pavel Zacha is our prospect of the week. Not only is he producing at a rapid pace for Sarnia this postseason, but he's been a huge reason they've stuck around to even this series, especially with Travis Konecny out. Zacha is currently tied for 3rd in points in the OHL playoffs.

ADevil of the Week

Paul Thompson earns this week's honors as he is on a 4 game point streak with a goal and 4 assists. While his SH% has normalized a bit this year, he's still been productive averaging above the 75th percentile in Pts/GP and G/GP according to Quant Hockey.

Prospects on TV

Thursday 4/7 - Frozen Four: Boston College (Santini, Wood, Dudek) vs. Quinnipiac on ESPN2 at 5 PM. The Denver vs. North Dakota game will be aired right after the BC game. Travis Zajac's brother, Nolan, is a senior defensemen for Denver. The NCAA Championship is on Saturday 4/9 at 8 PM on ESPN.
