The Comets have had some new faces in the lineup as of late as Lukas Jasek continues to impress since joining the team in late March. He closed out the season with seven points (3-4-7) in six games, which included scoring the overtime winner in their season finale. Highly-touted prospect Jonathan Dahlen has also joined the team, scoring once and setting up another in two games played, while Kole Lind has appeared in six games, registering one assist.
Speaking of playoffs, a pair of Canucks prospects in the OHL have a huge Game 7 coming up on Tuesday as Jonah Gadjovich, Brett McKenzie and the Owen Sound Attack take on the Soo Greyhounds to see who will advance to the third round and face the Kitchener Rangers.
