He scored Thursday night in his debut with Windsor, helping the Spitfires beat Saginaw 5-2 to climb into a first place tie in the West Division with the Spirit.
The Generals were also in action Thursday and after falling behind 3-0 in North Bay got a goal from Stuart Rolofs with one second remaining to jump back into the game. Joseph Serpa scored in the in the second to make it close but North Bay survived an Oshawa rally in the third to hang on for a 3-2 win.
Oshawa, who is in action in Sudbury tonight, lead the Wolves by just one point for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Sudbury has two games in hand.
Oshawa, 12-18-4, plays one more game before Monday’s trade deadline: Sunday against the Hamilton Bulldogs.
