Some are hot. Some are not. Here are some of both as we ramble around the Ontario Hockey League.

HOT

Forwards Drake Rymsha and Patrick White of the Ottawa 67’s. In their last 5 games, Rymsha has 6 goals, 1 assist, 7 points and White has 5-2-7 totals.

Forwards Ryan Moore and Nicholas Caamano of the Flint Firebirds. Moore has been hot all season long with 11 goals, 12 assists, 23 points in 13 games. Only once has Moore not scored a point in a game this season. Caamano has also been on fire, especially of late. In his last 3 games, Caamano has 4 goals, 5 assists, 9 points.

Forward Brett McKenzie of the North Bay Battalion has 6 goals, 3 assists, 9 points in his last 4 games.

Forward David Miller of the Soo Greyhounds has 4 goals, 2 assists, 6 points in his last 2 games.

Goalie Troy Timpano has yet to lose a game for the Erie Otters since being obtained in an off-season trade with the Sudbury Wolves. Thus far, while wearing an Erie uniform, Timpano has a 6-0-0 record to go with a 2.17 goals against average and .920 save percentage.

The power-play unit for the Windsor Spitfires has been sizzling. The Spitfire PP is clicking at a league-best 33.3 per cent, having scored 18 goals on 54 chances.

NOT

Saginaw Spirit not only has a league-worst record of 2-7-2 but has scored only 21 goals in 11 games while giving up 43.

And the Spirit power play has been without power with only 3 goals on 39 chances for a league-worst 7.7 per cent.

WHAT?

Flint Firebirds are ranked seventh in the Western Conference with a 7-5-1 record, good for 15 points. Those 15 points would have Flint tied for first with the Hamilton Bulldogs and Sudbury Wolves in the Eastern Conference.
