Team CHL also triumphed over Team USNTDP 6-1 on Tuesday in London, Ont.

Reschny’s game-winner came with 72 seconds left in the third when he cruised around the offensive zone and fired a shot off the crossbar and in from the left circle.

The series pits the top first-year NHL draft-eligible prospects from the CHL and the USNTDP against each other in a two-game series. It replaces the CHL Top Prospects Game, which previously featured only players from the CHL.

The CHL is the umbrella organization for the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.
