Easton Cowan's Incredible 54-Game Point Streak Nears Historic Heights!

In a spectacle that has hockey fans buzzing, Easton Cowan of the London Knights has extended his remarkable point streak to an astonishing 54 games, edging closer to Ontario Hockey League history. This remarkable feat unfolded during a thrilling 6-5 victory over the Saginaw Spirit at the Dow Event Center, where Cowan contributed an assist, further solidifying his legacy.

With Cowan’s scoring prowess on display, he is just one game away from tying the legendary Doug Gilmour, who holds the record with a 55-game point streak established in the 1982-83 season while playing for the Cornwall Royals. Cowan will have the opportunity to make history on Sunday against the Ottawa 67’s at Canada Life Place.

Although the league has committed to honoring Cowan's phenomenal streak, it has chosen not to officially recognize it due to spanning over two seasons. Last year, Cowan tallied points in 36 consecutive games before returning to the Knights this fall following a brief stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In Saturday's matchup, the Knights appeared to be cruising with a four-goal lead in the third period. However, the Spirit made a valiant comeback attempt, scoring three late goals, which included two during a five-minute power play after Knights forward Ryder Boulton received a major penalty for slashing. Despite this surge, the Knights held on to secure their 14th consecutive win.

The game featured an intense atmosphere, with London’s Sam Dickinson exhibiting an extraordinary performance, not only scoring but also assisting on every goal. Dickinson concluded the night with six points, reinforcing his position as a front-runner in the team’s scoring race with 38 points across just 20 games.

Knights goaltender Aleksei Medvedev showcased his skill, earning his ninth win of the season amidst a barrage of 20 shots in the third period alone. Meanwhile, Blake Montgomery marked his entry into the OHL scoring column with his first goal in just his sixth game since transitioning from the Lincoln Stars of the US Hockey League.

This thrilling victory sets the stage for an exciting matchup against Ottawa, where fans are eager to see if Cowan can extend his streak further and potentially etch his name into OHL history. As anticipation builds for the next game, it is clear that Easton Cowan is not just a player to watch, but a potential legend in the making.
