CHL Daily: Oct. 13, 2022
CHL Three Stars
Arguably one of, if not the best offensive defencemen in the CHL, Olen Zellweger (ANA) scored his first career WHL hat-trick in a 6-2 win against Edmonton to take the first star. All three goals came over a 12:24 in the third period. Zellweger also added an assist in Everett’s fifth win of the season.
Medicine Hat exploded for 11 goals Wednesday and were led by Brayden Boehm who had a hat-trick and one assist to claim the second star. Boehm already has four goals this season and is already just three shy of his career high, set a season ago.
Shane Smith also got in on the hat-trick fun for the Tigers as he was the night’s third star. Smith only scored his first career WHL goal Oct. 7 versus Everett before he exploded with a three-goal performance last night.
Nightly notes:

Daniel Hauser made 23 saves and in five games, has a .939 save percentage and a 1.57 GAA alongside a perfect record.
