Notes: Windsor has 10 players with three goals or more, Guelph has two ... import Ilya Protas, a third round pick of the Washington Capitals, has six goals in his first five OHL games ... first overall pick Ethan Belchetz has 10 points in eight games ... Windsor is giving up 3.13 goals a game. Last season they gave up 5.29 ... Spitfires' power play is clicking at a league best 34.4 per cent. Guelph is 11th at 21 per cent ... Guelph's power play is third in the league at 87.5 per cent ... Windsor has 10 more goals than the next highest scoring OHL team ... Guelph could be down to five true defencemen tonight, even if Dawson Morris gets the call-up ... Guelph has played the fewest games in the league heading into Friday night action.

Up next: Guelph hosts Kitchener at 4 p.m. Saturday then plays in Kitchener at 6 p.m. Sunday.
