Generals are inching closer to playoff spot THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 9 BY BRIAN LEGREE Stuff Editor The Oshawa Generals arc playing their best hockey of the season. The question of whether they've left it too late to grab a playoff spot will be answered over the final 25 games of the Ontario Hockey League season. season. The Generals comfortably downed the London Knights 3- 1 Sunday before a crowd of 2,624 at the Civic Auditorium, but didn't gain any ground on the Barrie Colts in the standings. standings. The Colts lopped Sault Ste. Marie 4-3 in overtime and continue continue to hold the eighth and final playoff berth in the Eastern Eastern Conference, five points up on Oshawa. Barrie also has three games in hand. Ultimately, the real target for the Generals could be the Peterborough Petes. The Generals Generals trail Peterborough by eight points, but both teams have played 43 games and the rivals face each other four more times this season. With Sunday's win, Oshawa is now 5-2-1 in its past eight games and has picked up 13 points in the standings in its past 10 games, a respectable .650 winning percentage. Scott Rozcndal led Os- bawa's offence Sunday with a pair of goals and now has four goals and three assists in six games since coming to Oshawa in a deal with Erie. Kevin Mitchell, continuing his stellar play of late, added a goal and an assist. Rozcndal teamed up with a pair of other newcomers, former former Erie teammate Pavel Shte- fan and former St. Michael's Major Chris Minard. The unit applied pressure to the Knights throughout the game, with Shtefan finishing with two assists, assists, Minard one. "We're doing well together," together," says Rozcndal. "We just try to work hard every shift. I'm used to playing with Pavel because I.played on his line when we were in Erie together. He's a really good player. I really like playing with both of them." Oshawa goalie T.J. Aceti would have posted his first shutout of the season had he not inadvertently ricocheted his own clearing pass off defenceman defenceman Eric Larochelle's leg and into his own net at 8:08 of the third period. The goal was credited to Mike Stathopoulos. "I'm pleased with the win," says Oshawa coach George Burnett. "But I'm a little disappointed disappointed with the decision-making we had in the last two periods. We had a chance with a team down 3-0 to put an anchor in it, but we kind of let them back in with a sloppy play and just some sloppiness, especially on the power-play. We had an opportunity opportunity to really bury them early and we didn't get the job done. "But it was a good win, a good weekend, four out of six (points), that's good."
