Mackenzie Blackwood and Barrie were swept by Niagara last Wednesday in the OHL Eastern Conference Finals. Blackwood made 26 saves on 29 shots in Game 4. Still, he was arguably the best goaltender in the OHL this season and near the top of the leaderboard in most metrics. I'm personally really pleased with the season he put together and look forward to seeing how he builds on this going forward.

Pavel Zacha had an assist, -1, 2 PIM, and 3 shots in 2 games for Albany last week.

Adirondack is currently tied with South Carolina 1-1 in the 2nd round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs. Ben Johnson enjoyed a fine Game 1 with a goal, assist, +1, and 2 shots. Joe Faust had an assist in Game 1. Both players were held off the scoresheet in Game 2. Ken Appleby won Game 1 with 23 saves on 27 shots. He lost Game 2 despite making 29 saves on 30 shots. Game 3 will be tonight.

Prospect of the Week

After another clutch week for Brandon, John Quenneville earns this week's honors. He is currently on a 7 game point streak with 7 goals and 5 assists during that stretch. Quenneville is tied with teammate Nolan Patrick for the WHL lead in points in the playoffs (24) and he stands alone on top of the leaderboard in goals (13). He now has 56 points in 44 career playoff games.

ADevil of the Week

Blake Pietila was ready to return to the line up on Thursday and made an impact as Albany eliminated Utica. He had 2 goals, 2 assists, a +3, 2 PIM, and 6 shots in his first career AHL playoff game. His 2nd goal was on an empty net but the point remains that he did well to step in and make an immediate impact. No doubt he's going to do everything he can to impress now that he's on the radar for the big club.
