The London Knights faced a setback in their recent match, losing 5-2 to the Kitchener Rangers. Despite the defeat, Easton Cowan, a promising prospect for the Toronto Maple Leafs, extended his notable point streak to 61 games. His second-period assist, however, has raised questions regarding the accuracy of the scoring play. Video evidence suggests that the puck may not have directly come from Cowan, but rather deflected off Jacob Julien and Landon Sim before leading to Jared Woolley's shot, which was eventually scored by Sim.
Officials recorded the assist as Cowan's, and unless the Knights demand a review, this record will stand. Cowan's impressive streak had previously seen him break Doug Gilmour's longstanding OHL record of 55 consecutive games with points, a feat achieved earlier this season. His accomplishment now matches Mario Lemieux's record established in the QMJHL, marking a significant milestone in junior hockey.
