CHL Three Stars
Lucas Ciona (CGY) had a night to remember as he recorded six points in Seattle’s 11-3 win in Everett to be named the first star. Ciona would register his first WHL hat-trick and also added three assists as the Thunderbirds remained a perfect 7-0-0.
Quebec City’s Pier-Olivier Roy also tallied his first career hat-trick to claim the second star. The Remparts winger also tallied two assists for a career-best five points in a 7-2 win over Saint John.
Teammate Theo Rochette claimed the third star after his own six-point performance. The Remparts captain had two goals and four assists in their win over the Sea Dogs and was also a +7. Rochette and Roy’s 10 points are tied for the team lead.

- Francesco Arcuri (DAL) scored twice to lead Kingston to a 6-1 victory over Guelph and in the process passed the 100-point plateau in his OHL career. Teammate Paul Ludwinski (CHI) scored his first goal of the campaign and added two helpers as the Fronts won their third straight game.
- Erie’s Malcolm Spence had the tying goal with 5:09 left in regulation and then buried the overtime game-winner to give the Otters a 4-3 win over Saginaw.
- Jacob Frasca had the second game-winning goal of his career as he scored in overtime to give Barrie a 4-3 win over the Greyhounds. Bryce McConnell-Barker (NYR) scored twice for the Soo.
- The OHL’s third game to be decided in the extra frame, Colby Barlow, fresh off of a hat-trick Friday, had the winner for Owen Sound in a back-and-forth tilt against Windsor that saw both teams trade goals all evening long. Barlow added two assists in the victory while Servac Petrovsky (MIN) also had three points (1G, 2A).
- Juan Copeland scored twice as part of an emphatic 7-3 win for Niagara against Flint.
