CHL Daily: Burke, Hofer score hat-tricks Wednesday night
CHL Three Stars
Ryan Hofer’s (WSH) second career WHL hat-trick helped lead Everett to a 6-3 win in Brandon to be named the night’s first star. The Manitoba native has 10 goals in 13 games this year for the 9-5-0 Silvertips.
Nolan Burke collected the second star after he registered his first career OHL hat-trick as Sarnia collected a point in a 6-5 shootout loss to Guelph. Burke’s 11 goals this year leads the Sting while his 18 points are the second most.
Jakub Brabenec (VGK) tallied his first multi-goal game of the season to claim the third star. Brabenec, whose 14 points are the most among Islanders skaters, also added an assist as Charlottetown beat Saint John 7-3.
