Swift Current Broncos' forwards Cody Eakin and Justin Dowling continue NHL rookie camps, and actually played against each other yesterday.

Eakin's Washington Capitals defeated Dowling and the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in a rookie game. Eakin scored the winner for the Capitals with 1:16 remaining in regulation.

The 19-year-old forwards are said to be doing very well at their respective camps, and there is a very slim chance they'll be back with the Broncos for next week's season opener.
