The next day at Windsor, Theoret scored the game’s opening goal, while Strome scored his seventh of the season midway through the third period, tying the game at 3-3. Niagara went on to win 4-3 in a shootout, improving to 6-4-1. Strome is tied for sixth in the OHL with 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 11 games.
Kichton’s big week boosts Chiefs
Defenseman Brenden Kichton of the Spokane Chiefs (Western Hockey League) helped his team to a 2-1 record last week with a goal and two assists. On Oct. 10 at Kelowna, Kichton recorded a power play assist and a shorthanded assist just 70 seconds apart, as Spokane skated to a 6-4 victory. Against Vancouver on Oct. 13, the Edmonton, AB native scored on the man advantage with time winding down in the first period, as Spokane won 5-2. Kichton has three goals and seven assists in eight games this season.
Lee and Russo help Irish win Ice Breaker Tournament
