Oilers Prospect Update: Benson and Hebig are no joke

It’s looking more and more unattainable for the Condors to finish off the playoff push. The lineup has been somewhat consistent if not for the emergency call up this week for LB.

In the ECHL, the Thunder have stumbled somewhat but look to be in good position to finish off the playoff run. As I mentioned before it looks like Starrett has lost his starring role as starter which is disappointing.

The playoffs for the CHL roll on and the standout performances of both Hebig and Benson this week are noteworthy. As well as the rollercoaster that Swift Current’s Skinner finds himself on in their series.
