- Jett Woo assisted on a power-play goal in the Hitmen’s first game this week and dished a sweet backdoor pass in the following game. This gives him 1 goal and 7 assists during his 7-game point streak. His defence partner, Egor Zamula, is out for the remainder of the season to undergo back surgery. This is a big blow to the Hitmen as they are losing a point-per-game defenceman in the midst of a wildcard fight. Expect Woo to become the focal point on Calgary’s back end.
Jett Woo's assist from tonight. He's up to 25 (6+19) in 35GP and is currently riding a 7-game point streak where he has 1G and 7A.
This has all been without WJC standout Egor Zamula who is now undergoing season ending surgery. Woo will be the Hitmen's focal point on the backend pic.twitter.com/Sl0rqGDckB

- Matthew Thiessen and Maine University faced off against the USNTDP U18’s this week. Thiessen stopped all 30 shots he faced for a 2-0 shutout. His stats in the spreadsheet above reflect what Maine’s official stat-site shows which is why it still shows him as only playing 1 game. Nice to see him getting some action as the third-string goalie.
