CHL Daily: Knights and Tigres continue to roll
CHL Three Stars
Brandon Lisowsky (TOR) scored a third of Saskatoon’s goals in a 9-0 victory over Prince Alber to claim the night’s first star. Lisowsky’s first hat-trick of the season, and the third in his WHL career, was the catalyst as the Blades won their sixth straight. Lisowsky has 14 goals and 29 points this season.
David Goyette’s (SEA) second goal of the evening was the overtime winner as he earned the second star after a 5-4 win over Barrie. Goyette also added an assist in the victory to take his season total to 38 points.
Nolan Burke (NSH) claimed the third star after a three-point (2G, 1A) performance in a 6-3 Sting win over Flint. Sarnia sits five games over .500 but sit fourth in a tight West Division. Burke’s 18 goals are tied for the sixth most in the OHL.
