CHL Daily: Lavallee finds offensive touch with Drakkar
CHL Three Stars
Seven unanswered goals led the Baie-Comeau Drakkar to a 7-4 road win in Charlottetown. Leading the way for the winning side was 2004-born left-wing Charles-Antoine Lavallee, Thursday’s first star who in his fifth appearance with the club since his mid-December acquisition impressed with three goals and one assist.
Also coming up big in the Baie-Comeau/Charlottetown showdown was Drakkar veteran left-wing Matthew MacDonald who claims second-star honours with a season high of four points counting one goal and three assists.
Third-star recognition belongs to Vancouver Canucks draftee Connor Lockhart of the Peterborough Petes who tallied twice en route to a 5-3 victory versus Owen Sound. The talented centre has collected 15 points in his past six outings.
