CHL Daily: Petes’ Lockhart completes hat-trick in under 8 minutes
CHL Three Stars
Vancouver Canucks prospect Connor Lockhart of the Peterborough Petes is Sunday’s first star after scoring three unanswered en route to a 6-1 road win in Oshawa. Lockhart accomplished the feat in the second period, completing the hat-trick in a span of 7:51.
Another hat-trick came out west as Red Deer Rebels veteran centre Kai Uchacz scored three for the third time in four games to power his squad to a 5-3 road win in Calgary. Sunday’s second star leads the WHL with 33 goals in 36 games.
Third-star recognition belongs to Ottawa 67’s 2004-born netminder Collin MacKenzie who turned aside all 20 shots versus Kingston en route to a 4-0 road win and his first career shutout. MacKenzie has surrendered a lone loss through 11 appearances this season.
