CHL Daily: Maggio ties Spitfires record with five goals
CHL Three Stars
Matthew Maggio (NYI) had a night for the ages Thursday as he scored five times to earn the night’s first star in a 6-3 win over Erie. The Spitfires forward tied a franchise record for goals in a game and in the process also surpassed 150 career OHL points. Maggio has 23 goals and 44 points this season in 27 games.
J.R. Avon’s (PHI) second career OHL hat-trick saw him rewarded with the second star of the night as Peterborough beat Hamilton 8-2. Avon also added an assist in the victory and now has 29 points (14 goals) in 28 games.
Josh Bloom (BUF) collected the third star as he had three points (2G, 1A) as North Bay took down Mississauga 7-3. Bloom has 20 points in just 13 games with the Battalion since last month’s trade.
Nightly notes:
