CHL Three Stars
Kai Schwindt had a night to remember as he tallied a career high five points to claim the first star as Mississauga beat Hamilton 8-2. The Florida Panthers prospect had a hat-trick, the first of his OHL career, and added two assists in the victory. The win was the Steelheads’ sixth straight as they own the second best record in the OHL.
Owen Beck had a sensational night himself as he tallied six points to take the second star. The Montreal Canadiens prospect had one goal and five assists as he set now only a career high in points in a game, but tied the Steelheads’ franchise record.
Francesco Pinelli (LA) recorded his first OHL hat-trick to be named third star as Kitchener beat Sudbury 7-2. Pinelli’s six goals this season leads the Rangers while his eight points are tied with Hunter Brzustewicz for the team lead.
