Ottawa 67′s Clint Windsor, Cape Breton’s Raphael Corriveau play spoiler: Wednesday’s 3 Stars

No. 1 star: Clint Windsor, Ottawa 67's (OHL)

Windsor led the young 67's to their biggest character win since fully committing to rebuilding, stopping 47 shots to beat the conference-leading Belleville Bulls 3-1 in their own barn. The 19-year-old goalie has had more shots taken at him than Lena Dunham, seemingly for little tangible reward while playing for a last-place team. The Bulls were counting on breaking their slide against a playing-for-pride Ottawa outfit, but Windsor gave the 67's a lift with 14 first-period saves while likely top-10 NHL pick Sean Monahan (2G-1A, +2) and linemates Joseph Blandisi and Ryan Van Stralen produced a goal.

Belleville ramped up the pressure with 20 second-period shots, and fell farther behind as the 6-foot-4 Windsor kept making saves and recovering to handle rebounds. His best save actually came on former 67 Jake Cardwell just before Alan Quine popped in Belleville's only goal. Ultimately, the performance will make it easier for Ottawa to be competitive as it plays out the string.

Windsor's performance helped out his old teammates in Barrie. The Bulls remain only three points ahead of the Colts for the Eastern Conference regular-season title with six games to play.

No. 2 star: Raphaël Corriveau, Cape Breton Screaming Eagles (QMJHL)

So the two cellar-dwellers in the Ontario and Quebec leagues both beat a contending team they were 0-7 on the year against? Yes, that's right. Corriveau (1G-2A, +2) and Cape Breton climbed back from a two-goal deficit for a stirring 4-3 overtime win over the streaking Moncton Wildcats, with the 18-year-old Buckland, Que., native getting the decider 2:34 into overtime.

Moncton mauled the Screaming Eagles 12-2 recently and another cakewalk was looming after it took a 2-0 lead. Corriveau had primary assists on a last-minute first-period goal by Justin Haché and then another by Bryce Milson in the second. (Combined, the trio came in with just 19 goals between them all season.)

Vancouver Canucks-drafted goalie David Honzik stopped 35 shots for just his fourth win all season.

No. 3 star: Madison Bowey, Kelowna Rockets (WHL)

The likely late first- or second-round NHL pick came up big, getting his second goal of the game with 48 seconds left to lead Kelowna to eventual 4-3 shootout win over the Victoria Royals. With leading scorer Myles Bell sidelined, the Rockets needed their defence to pitch in on the scoring. Bowey, a Winnipegger who's one of the best skating D-men in this draft class, scored on a point shot in the first period. The Royals came up with an inspired effort and were set up to take two points out of Prospera Place after scoring with 1:15 left to go ahead 3-2. Kelowna didn't even blink, as Bowey levelled just 27 seconds later off a setup from Zach Franko.

Honourable mention: Elliott Peterson, Calgary Hitmen (WHL)

Message received! One night after being scratched in his hometown while Calgary ended the Saskatoon Blades' 19-game point streak, Peterson was man of the hour in a 4-3 comeback win over the Prince Albert Raiders. Peterson (2G-1A, +2) scored back-to-back goals late in the second and with 7:25 to play to vault Calgary into the lead, taking advantage of the extra ice time he was afforded by coach Mike Williamson. The 17-year-old rookie doubled his season goal total in one night. Peterson also assisted on a Chase Clayton goal in the first period. With the win, the Hitmen clinched home-ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs.

Honourable mention: Zach O'Brien, Acadie-Bathurst Titan (QMJHL)

It was '80s night in Bathurst, N.B., as the Titan and Halifax Mooseheads combined for 15 goals with Matthew Bissonnette winning it for Bathurst 99 seconds into overtime. O'Brien (2G, -1) was named first star after reaching the 45-goal mark on the season; the St. John's, N.L., native has five games left to reach 50 for the second year in a row. Marc-Olivier Brouillard (2G-2A) also had a big offensive night for Bathurst.

Halifax was without both Jonathan Drouin (upper body injury) and Nathan MacKinnon (ankle).
