FINAL DIVISION MATCH-UP OF THE REGULAR SEASON 

FRONTENACS AND GENERALS BATTLE FOR POINTS TOWARDS PLAYOFF SEEDINGS 

the tie breaker over the IceDogs and can clinch 

the third seed with a single point. 

The Kingston Frontenacs have locked up home 

ice advantage in the opening round of the 

playoffs but can clinch the third seed with a 

point against the Generals. Oshawa is currently 3 

points behind Niagara in a battle for fourth in the 

conference. With only three games remaining, 

they need every point available to them if they 

hope to host games 1 and 2 of their first-round 

series. 

Kingston has had a lot of success against the 

Generals this season winning 5 of the 7 games 

played. The Frontenacs have outscored the 

Generals 27-15 in those 7 games. Despite 

having the advantage for the majority of the 

season, Kingston dropped a 5-3 decision to 

Oshawa one week ago. 

After going through a bit of a rough stretch earlier 

this month, the Frontenacs found their game 

last weekend winning back to back games over 

the Ottawa 67’s. Jason Robertson scored the 

overtime winner on Saturday in Ottawa, and after 

previously going four games without a point, he 

has now recorded 3 goals and 5 assists during 

a four-game point streak. The 4-points Kingston 

earned from those games, coupled with an 

Oshawa loss to Hamilton on Sunday night, 

clinched a top four finish for Kingston assuring 

them of home ice advantage in the opening 

round. Kingston sits 5 points ahead of Niagara 

for third in the conference. The Frontenacs hold 

Oshawa has been climbing the standings in 

recent weeks. They come into tonight’s game 

having won 8 of their past 10 games, including 

impressive wins over Kingston and Kitchener. 

Home ice advantage would be a major advantage 

for Oshawa if they can earn it. They are 8 games 

over .500 on home ice, while 2 games under 

.500 on the road. The Generals have yet to win 

a game in Kingston this season and have only 

managed 5 wins at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in 

the last 5 seasons. 

Of course, there is the possibility that Kingston 

and Oshawa could end up being first round 

opponents. The Generals will play either Niagara 

or Kingston in the first round. They would likely 

have to drop to the sixth seed to have a first 

round date with Kingston. 

HELVIG SETS CAREER HIGH IN WINS: 

On Saturday in Kingston’s 5-4 overtime win in 

Ottawa, Jeremy Helvig set a new career high 

in victories with 30. Only 5 other Frontenacs 

goaltenders have hit the 30-win mark, the most 

recent being Lucas Peressini during Helvig’s 

rookie season of 2014-15. The 30-win season 

has helped Helvig set a new franchise record 

for career wins. He currently has 80 career 

victories. - KF

FIND MOTIVATION IN PLAYING SPOILER 

It’s not often that you would call a top three team a spoiler, but in this case, Kingston can be just 

that. The Oshawa Generals are desperately trying to catch the Niagara IceDogs to claim home 

ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. Sitting three points back with three games 

remaining, Oshawa needs these points to keep home ice advantage a realistic possibility. As a 

long time division rival, the Frontenacs would enjoy nothing more than being part of the reason 

Oshawa doesn’t accomplish their goal. If they can earn two points in the process, it is a win-win 

for the black and gold. 

FIRST PERIOD SUCCESS 

Kingston has a strong 5-2 record against the Generals this season. In all five wins, the Frontenacs 

have led the game after the first period. In both losses they have been tied after a period. The 

early lead allows Kingston to control the game. Oshawa has to chase the game to try and make 

up a deficit and that plays into Kingston’s favour. Putting Oshawa behind early also plays a role in 

their confidence. They haven’t been able to come from behind against Kingston yet this season, 

so an early deficit may sink their spirits. Getting ahead early is essential because winning the first 

period goes a long way towards winning the game. 

FINISH THE JOB 

The Frontenacs have just one thing left to play for in the regular season and that is to lock up the 

third seed in the Eastern Conference. That goal can be accomplished with a single point, but no 

team wants to achieve a goal with an overtime loss. A win over a division rival to lock up the third 

seed tonight would feel very rewarding. The faster Kingston can finish this job, the faster they can 

focus solely on the first round of the OHL playoffs. - KF

by Jordan Jackson, Kingston Frontenacs 

Just 17 hours after leaving the ice at 

the Rogers K-Rock Centre, the Kingston 

Frontenacs and Ottawa 67’s took to 

the ice at TD Place in Ottawa for a 

rematch on Saturday, March 10. The 

Frontenacs dominated the Friday night 

matchup beating Ottawa 7-2. Cliff Pu, 

Linus Nyman, and Jason Robertson all 

recorded 3 points in that game to lead 

the Frontenacs. 

Cedrick Andree struggled in goal for 

Ottawa on Friday, so the 67’s turned to 

Olivier Tremblay on Saturday afternoon. 

After earning 3rd-star honours on Friday 

night, Kingston went back to Jeremy 

Helvig, who was looking for a career-high 

30th victory. 

Saturday afternoon’s first period showed 

us how much of a difference a single day 

can make. Kingston had dominated the 

opening period on Friday but on Saturday 

it was Ottawa controlling play in the 

opening frame. 

Despite Kingston having the only power 

play time in the period, Ottawa outshot 

14 KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY MAGAZINE

Kingston 9-5. They also were the only 

team to get on the scoreboard. 67’s 

leading scorer, Sasha Chmelevski, found 

a wide open Tye Felhaber in front of the 

Kingston goal. Felhaber made no mistake 

beating Jeremy Helvig to score the only 

goal of the opening period. 

At the end of the period, Noel Hoefenmeyer 

took an interference penalty that put 

Kingston on the power play with just 0:19 

remaining. The Frontenacs trailed 1-0 

after the first but had nearly a full power 

play to start the second period. 

The Frontenacs weren’t able to capitalize 

on the power play to open the period 

but they did play a better period overall. 

Kingston found themselves spending 

more time in the offensive zone and 

making Olivier Tremblay work a little 

harder in net. 

Near the midway point of the period, 

Kingston was able to tie the game. Jakob 

Brahaney’s initial point shot was stopped 

by Tremblay, but Gabe Vilardi swatted at 

the rebound and knocked it in to even the 

score at 1-1. Kingston had a great chance 

to jump ahead on the power play late in 

the period but it was Ottawa that broke 

out on a two on one odd man rush. Quinn 

Yule kept the puck and slid it between the 

legs of Helvig to put Ottawa back in front. 

It was an evenly played period and the 

score reflected that. Both teams scored 

once in the period and Ottawa took a 2-1 

lead into the final frame. 

It was a disastrous start to the period for 

Kingston when Travis Barron scored just 

0:15 in to put Ottawa up 3-1. Kingston kept 

coming however and Gabe Vilardi notched 


his second of the game on the power play 

to bring Kingston back within a goal. 

Ottawa looked to put the Frontenacs away 

when Quinn Yule scored his second of the 

game at 9:14 to extend the 67’s lead to 

4-2, but a two-goal lead is never enough 

against a team with as much firepower as 

Kingston. With under five minutes left, the 

offence exploded. Ryan Cranford scored 

a third-period goal for the second night 

in a row that cut the lead in half. Just 

0:17 later Linus Nyman tied the game 

on a rebound opportunity after Tremblay 

had made a great save on the initial shot. 

Kingston had scored three third period 

goals to get themselves into overtime. 

Ottawa shot themselves in the foot early in 

overtime when they took a penalty in the 

first minute and put the best power play in 

the OHL on the ice. That power play took 

full advantage. After nearly a full minute 

in the offensive zone, Cliff Pu found Jason 

Robertson with a cross-crease pass and 

Roberston tapped it in for his 41st of the 

season, and more importantly, the gamewinning 

goal. 

For the second night in a row, Kingston 

scored a pair of power play goals to help 

defeat the Ottawa 67’s. Their power play 

went 4 for 7 in the home-and-home 

series. Jeremy Helvig earned his 30th win 

of the season setting a new career high. 

The franchise record is 33 held by Mike 

Moffat in the 1980-81 season. 

The Frontenacs can lock themselves into 

the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference 

with a single point with three games 

remaining. - KF
