Of prospect-related playoff note:
In the Ontario Hockey League, Givani Smith scored a goal and added 2 assists, finishing at +3 on 7 shots as his Kitchener Rangers won 4-3 in overtime over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
Jordan Sambrook finished at -2 with 1 shot for Sault Ste. Marie, who face a 7th an deciding game in their Western Conference Final series against the Rangers.
The teams will play Game 7 on Monday in Sault Ste. Marie, and you can watch highlights of the game here.
Update: This was stupid:
…then Givani Smith takes it one step further.
Game 7 tomorrow in the Soo. https://t.co/QPa3iGIfZ2

Givani should be suspended and the Red Wings should have a short chat with him. This incident happened after play had stopped.
He is one prospect who I wasn’t high on to begin with, Grow Up Kid!!!
I prefer Smith’s after the play finger antics to some players actual playing antics. His play certainly backed up his flying the finger.
