Mike Fisher’s two-goal performance powered the offence and Brian Elliott was forced into action after Pascal Leclaire left the game with an injury early in the first period.

#61 Zack Kassian BUF F Drafted: 2009-13th

One-Timer: Kassian is one of the OHL’s toughest players and doesn’t shy away from donnybrooks, but needs to show more discipline after sometimes taking needless penalties.
