Easton Cowan, a resident of Mount Brydges, extended his consecutive game point streak in the OHL to 27 with 2 points Wednesday night in a 6-4 loss to Oshawa, setting a new record for the franchise’s pre-Internet era. Surpassing Sergei Kostitsyn’s previous mark from 2006-07, Cowan’s impressive 27-game run highlights the rich history of the Knights, tracing back to the days of the London Ice House and Gardens.
In the realm of the Ontario Hockey League, Dave Gilmore holds the record with a 33-game streak from Oct. 10, 1993, to Jan. 14, 1994. Notable performances in the franchise’s history include Dave Simpson’s remarkable 155-point season in 1981-82 and Dino Ciccarelli’s extraordinary 72-goal, 142-point campaign in 1977-78. Doug Gilmour, a former Maple Leafs star, remains the OHL record holder with a streak of 55 games during the 1982-83 season. Cowan and the Knights have 11 games remaining in the regular season.
