First off, London lost to Guelph? London, one of the top OHL teams lost to the team that had, up to that point, less than five wins on the season? Damn. Let's check in:

Jesper Lindgren (D) - ~~MODO, SHL~~ ~~Björklöven, Allsvenskan~~ MODO U20?  
Jesper Lindgren is a man on the move. He was loaned to Björklöven of the Allsvenskan for four games but he's been recalled by MODO, [this article](http://loven4ever.com/bjorkloven-tackar-nej-till-jesper-lindgren/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) seems to be pointing him at the U20 MODO team. If he ever surfaces, I'll let you know. Sticktap to [@GoddTill](https://twitter.com/GoddTill?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) for the help in almost locating him, but he got away just before we could nab him. He must work for Carmen Sandiego.

Cody Donaghey and Andrew Neilsen had outstanding weeks, racking up four points each. In the NHL points standings Jeremy Bracco has jumped up on Tony Cameranesi to take the fourth spot, after having two Goal/Assist nights with Kitchener.

It's nice to see so many guys putting up points week after week, and then getting a surprise, like a two point night from Dakota Joshua. Not that it means a lot big picture, but still, it's good.

Hopefully Korostelev and Lindgren are back on the ice soon, and we're getting towards the end of the NCAA season so, hopefully I can figure out their championships before we get to the [Frozen Four](http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-frozen-four?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
