Simpson helped clinch an OHL Championship appearance with his Game Seven performance against the Battalion, stopping 22 of the 24 shots last Monday. He returned to his hometown of London on Thursday, making 29 saves in a 3-0 loss to the Knights. He rebounded with a 51-save performance on Saturday in Game Two, to help Peterborough nab a 5-3 victory to tie the OHL Championship Series at one win apiece.
