CHL Three Stars

Kingston’s Ethan Miedema caught the eye of NHL teams Wednesday as he scored four times in a 6-2 win over Oshawa to claim the first star. The NHL Draft prospect has 48 points this season, 17 of which have come as a member of the Fronts after he was acquired in the Shane Wright (SEA) deal. Miedema is the 45^th ranked North American skater ahead of the NHL Draft.

Jordan Dumais’ (CBJ) memorable season continued as he racked up six points (2G, 4A) to earn the second star as Halifax beat Charlottetown 9-0. It was Dumais’ fourth six-point showing of the season as he continues to sit in second place in CHL scoring with 136 points. His next point will tie Ramzi Abid’s Mooseheads record for points in a season.

Brendan Lee’s first WHL hat-trick of the season saw him claim the evening’s third star after Medicine Hat beat Edmonton 8-2. Lee, who also had an assist in the win, leads the Tigers in goals this season with 32 while his 58 points are a new career high.

WHL

Kamloops got the better of Seattle 6-5 Wednesday in a battle between the WHL’s top two Western Conference teams. Caeden Bankier (MIN) had the game-winner in the third as the Blazers snapped the Thunderbirds’ 17-0-1 streak.
Winnipeg had its seven-game winning streak end at the hands of Moose Jaw after Brayden Yager scored twice in a 6-4 win. The victory was the Warriors’ 40^th win of the year.
Calgary erased a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 in Lethbridge in what was a massive two points in their quest for a WHL playoff spot. The Hitmen, who have won three straight, need one point in their final two games or a loss of any kind from Swift Current to clinch a berth in the playoffs.
