Michael McLeod is a point machine. The Devils' 2016 first round draft pick has been on a scoring frenzy for the Mississauga Steelheads and has carried his strong play into the OHL Playoffs. In 14 games played this post-season, McLeod leads the Steelheads with 23 points (8g-15a) including last night's GWG in double-overtime, lifting Mississauga over the Peterborough Petes. The Steelheads currently hold a 3-0 series lead over the Petes, due largely in part to the play of McLeod and "Super Buddy" teammate (and fellow Devils prospect) Nathan Bastian.
