Easton Cowan breaks the OHL record with a 56-game point streak, then gets injured in the same game. Is this a sign of a potential curse or just the unfortunate reality of a physical sport? How much pressure do these kinds of records put on young players?

The London Knights’ 19-game win streak is snapped by the Oshawa Generals. Were the Generals simply due for a win, or did Cowan's injury disrupt the Knights’ momentum? How does a team recover mentally from such a dominant streak ending, especially coupled with a key player’s injury?

Oshawa scores three goals in four minutes during their comeback. Is this a testament to their offensive firepower or a sign of defensive lapses by the Knights? What are the key factors that can swing a game’s momentum so drastically in such a short timeframe? Could Cowan's absence have been a contributing factor to this defensive breakdown?

This incident raises the broader question of player safety in the OHL. Is enough being done to protect these young athletes, or should stricter rules and penalties be implemented? Where does the balance lie between maintaining the physicality of the game and ensuring player well-being?

What are your bold predictions for the remainder of the OHL season? Will the Knights bounce back and continue to be contenders, or will Cowan’s injury derail their championship aspirations? Which other teams are poised for a deep playoff run?
