3RD STAR: ERIC UBA (GUELPH STORM) – 2G
Eric Uba scored the game winner and added an empty netter to push the Guelph Storm to a 3-1 victory, putting an end to the London Knights’ win streak. The 19-year-old winger connected with Cedric Ralph and Keegan Stevenson to find the back of the net at the 18:55 mark of the final frame to give the Storm their first lead of the game, then found the empty net on his own with just 13 seconds left on the clock to add insurance. The Kitchener native now owns 22 goals and 45 points through 51 games in his third OHL season, surpassing his previous season’s 42-point total. Picked up by the Flint Firebirds in the ninth round of the 2016 OHL Priority Selection, Uba was traded to the Storm last summer.
