The playoffs for most prospects are upon us and now there is a playoff tracker for you to follow along. Big weeks from Cameron Hebig in Regina and Tyler Benson with Vancouver.

In Oilers news, Cooper Marody acquired from Philadelphia this week and Brad Malone was called up to the NHL on an emergency basis. He didn’t draw into any games and as I wrote this update he was sent down as LB is back with the Oilers for tonight’s game as a result of Montoya’s injury. Ty Rattie, still the Condors leading point-getter, is lighting it up in the NHL with Connor McDavid and Nugent-Hopkins.

Vesel signed with the Condors this week as his college career comes to an end. While the Wichita Thunder look poised to clinch a playoff spot in the ECHL.
