The London Knights just keep winning. 15 straight, even without their top line fully intact. Cowan’s streak is on hold due to injury, raising questions about its future. Does a necessary break invalidate the incredible run? Or does it simply add another layer of intrigue? With a potential record-matching game on the horizon, how much risk should the Knights take with their star player?

This situation provides a perfect opportunity to discuss player safety and the balance between physicality and responsible play.

Elliott continues to impress. His shootout success, despite his personal dislike for them, speaks volumes about his mental toughness.

Discuss the psychological aspects of goaltending and the unique challenges of the shootout format.

Finally, the ongoing battles between London and Ottawa continue to be tight, low-scoring affairs. Is this a testament to strong defensive systems, or a sign of offensive struggles? With both teams coached by defensive-minded leaders, are we witnessing a shift in junior hockey strategy? What does this mean for player development and the entertainment value of the game? Let's hear your thoughts!
