Canada
WHL
- Woooooooooooo! Jett Woo ends the week with six assists in three games. He is now on a seven game point streak and has 10 points (2 goals and 8 assists) due that streak. He also had some PIM’s last night for this infraction:
OHL
- Mitch Eliot put up two goals and two assists in three games over the past seven days. He is tied for third in goals among OHL defencemen and 7th in points.
- Matt Brassard maintains his slightly above point-per-game pace with the IceDogs – he had three assists in their three games this week.
- Michael DiPietro picked up two wins in his two starts before being recalled to the Canucks on an emergency basis. He has won his last six starts with the 67’s.
United States
USHL
- Matt Thiessen has been slowly looking more confident in net – he improved his GAA and SV% compared to last week after some good play this weekend.
NCAA
- Quinn Hughes picked up one goal and one assist over the two games this past week. Not sure which was nicer, here is the goal:
Here is the assist:
- Tyler Madden shined at the BeanPot this week with the overtime winner:
- William Lockwood scored in Michigan’s first game of the week to extend his goal scoring streak to five games but was unfortunately held off the scoresheet in the following game.
- Jack Rathbone was held off the scoresheet in both of Harvard’s games this past week.
Europe
Russia
- Manuykan did not post a point in the one game that he played this week. Avangard has loaned Kris Versteeg to Vaxjo in the SHL, so maybe Manuykan’s role will increase.
- Nikita Tryamkin was held off the scoresheet in two games over the last week.
Finland
- Petrus Palmu picked up one goal and one assist in his only game this week:
- Toni Utunen was held off the scoresheet in both games that he suited up for.
Sweden
- Kristoffer Gunnarsson didn’t pick up any points his two games the past week.

- D Cliff Watson was released from his PTO.
