San Jose Sharks prospect Kasper Halttunen is the leading scorer in goals and points during the London Knights' undefeated OHL playoffs run.
In ten playoff games, Halttunen has nine goals and five assists. He was just named OHL Player of the Week with three goals in the OHL's Western Conference Final.
Halttunen had an incredible first season in North America. In 57 games, the winger scored 32 goals and 29 assists, good for fourth-best on the roster. His one-timer was extraordinary and showed shades of Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin in his office.
The Sharks 2023 second-round pick signed his entry-level contract during training camp right before he was sent to Juniors.
The 18-year-old is leading his OHL team deep in the playoffs. London remains one of two undefeated teams across all three CHL leagues. London leads 2-0 in their series against the Saginaw Spirit.
The Knights look like they are on a crash course for the Memorial Cup tournament. With Halttunen firing on all cylinders, his team will not have trouble scoring goals.
