CHL Three Stars
Reid Schaefer (EDM) recorded his second two-goal game of the season to be named the first star as the Thunderbirds beat Medicine Hat 5-2. Schaefer’s five goals this year leads the T-Birds.
Portland’s Luca Cagnoni had one goal and one assist in a 5-2 victory over Edmonton to be named second star. The two-point effort pushed his point-streak to five games while his eight points are the second most on the Winterhawks.
Gracyn Sawchyn, the first overall pick in the WHL Draft by Red Deer in 2020, had one goal and one assist for Seattle in their victory over the Tigers to claim the third star. The rookie has endured a hot start to his WHL career with eight points (four goals) in five games and has registered at least one point in every game he has played so far.
