CHL Daily: Perron’s performance powers Huskies to road win
CHL Three Stars
Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 2004-born left-wing Mathis Perron is Tuesday’s first star after finishing with three points counting two goals and one assist in a 4-2 road win in Victoriaville. With the feat, Perron now stands at nine goals, a new career best.
Columbus Blue Jackets draftee Luca Del Bel Belluz of the Mississauga Steelheads claims second-star honours after notching his third three-point game of the season in Tuesday’s 5-4 overtime loss to Oshawa. Del Bel Belluz had two goals and one assist in the hard-battled contest.
Third-star recognition belongs to overage right-wing Jake Poole who tallied twice as the Victoria Royals doubled up on Kelowna for a 4-2 road victory. Poole is currently riding a six-game point streak in which he has collected five goals and four assists.
