OHL Roundup: A look at Friday's games

Malcolm Subban stopped 34 shots as the Belleville Bulls downed the host Kitchener Rangers 3-1 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League play.

The 19-year-old has won six of his last eight starts, is now 15-7-3 on the season and among the leaders in every statistical category for goaltenders. He currently has a 2.17 goals-against average, which is third best in the OHL, while his .932 save percentage ranks him second.

Garrett Hoouey had a goal and an assist for the Bulls (17-9-4), who sit first in the East Division three points ahead of the Oshawa Generals, while Carter Sandlak and Brendan Gaunce each scored once.

Hoouey, who hadn't picked up a point in five outings, recorded his fourth multi-point performance of the season.

Ben Thomson had the lone goal for the Rangers (18-9-3), who lost for just the third time in regulation on home ice in 15 outings. Thomson has just six goals in 29 games, however he has scored in three straight games.

Elsewhere in the OHL, it was: Erie 6, Ottawa 2; Kingston 4, Brampton 3; London 5, Niagara 2; Saginaw 3, Plymouth 2 (OT); Windsor 3, Sarnia 2 (SO); Guelph 4, Owen Sound 1 and Sudbury 5, Mississauga 3.

At Kitchener, Ont., Franky Palazzese turned away 37 shots in a losing cause for the Rangers.

Despite giving up three goals, the 19-year-old has a 1.96 goals-against average and .938 save percentage, which is good for the OHL lead in both categories.

Neither club had any success on the power play as the Bulls went 0 for 6 while the Rangers failed to score on seven chances with the man advantage.
