CHL Daily: Konyen’s hat-trick leads Wolves to victory
CHL Three Stars
Evan Konyen’s first OHL hat-trick earned him the night’s first star as Sudbury took down Peterborough 6-4. Konyen, who had 50 points a year ago as a rookie, is third in Wolves scoring this season with 17 points.
Jacob Melanson’s (SEA) fifth three-point game of the season gifted him the second star of the night. The Titan beat Charlottetown 5-3 as Melanson scored twice and added an assist. Melanson has 14 goals and 25 points this year.
Alexandre Doucet was named third star after he had three points (2G, 1A) in Val d’Or’s 4-3 victory in Halifax. His 36 points are tied for the third most in the QMJHL this season.
