ROMANO’S FOUR GAME POINT STREAK

Luca Romano exploded with five points (3G, 2A) in two games over the weekend, helping the Kitchener Rangers pick up three of a possible four points.

The Islanders’ 2025 second-round pick (42nd overall) had a three-point game (1G, 2A) on Saturday, getting the scoring started with a power-play goal in an eventual 4-3 OT loss to the Barrie Colts. He tallied another power-play point with an assist on the Rangers’ second goal of the game to make it 3-2 and notched a primary assist on a shorthanded goal that tied the game at three.

Romano had a two-goal outing on Sunday, bookending the scoring for the Rangers in a 3-1 win over the North Bay Battalion. He broke the ice with one second remaining in the second period and sealed the win with a shorthanded empty net goal for his sixth of the season. His six goals are tied for second on the Rangers.

AITCHESON BECOMES COLTS ALL-TIME TOP SCORING DEFENSEMAN

Kashawn Aitcheson is on a heater for the Barrie Colts, extending his point streak to four games with five points (2G, 3A) over that span.

The defenseman had a two-point game (1PPG, 1A) on Saturday to help the Colts beat the Kitchener Rangers 4-3 in overtime. He showcased his heavy shot from the right circle with seconds left on the man advantage to take a 3-1 lead. It marked the fifth multi-point game of the season for Aitcheson, who the Islanders drafted 17th overall this year.

Aitcheson has also made history recently, becoming the Colts' all-time scoring defenseman on Oct. 18 with his sixth goal of the season and 41st of his career. He surpassed Los Angeles Kings' Brandt Clarke and Florida Panthers' Aaron Ekblad to claim the top spot on the Colts' all-time leaderboard for goals by a defenseman in regular season action.

Aitcheson’s seven goals and 13 points on this season rank third on the Colts, while the 18-year-old leads all OHL defensemen in goals this year and ranks fifth in scoring.

EISERMAN INJURED

Cole Eiserman sustained an injury on Saturday against UConn.

The sophomore winger left the game after he was slammed into the boards in the first period and did not return. BU Head Coach Jay Pandolfo said postgame that there will be updates on Eiserman early in the week.

Eiserman, who was drafted 24th overall in 2024, potted his sixth goal of the season in an 8-4 loss to UConn on Friday night.
