OTTAWA GAME NOTES

• Major stat leaders
  • Goals: Mathieu Desgagnés – 8
  • Assists: Anthony Poulin – 9
  • Points: Mathieu Desgagnés – 12
  • Wins: Jean-Philippe Tourigny – 4

• The Gee-Gees once again halved their previous weekend, falling 4-1 to Ontario Tech before bouncing back for a commanding 5-1 win against Nipissing.
• The offence has been by committee for Ottawa this year. The team scored six goals last week, with six different players finding the back of the net.
• Ottawa's penalty kill has been nothing short of elite this season. Toronto Metropolitan is the only school to have conceded fewer goals while shorthanded than the Gee-Gees four this season.

  • Assists: Noah Rowe and Christian Tsukamoto – 5

• Two of the Paladins three wins have come against Ottawa-based schools (Carleton on Oct. 21 and Ottawa on Oct. 28).
• Joey May has been between the pipes for each of the team's three wins. May was in a timeshare with veteran Bradley Van Schubert his previous two seasons.
