Connor McClennon (Winnipeg ICE) – 20 points in 10 games
Despite his smaller stature, Philadelphia Flyers prospect Connor McClennon of the Winnipeg ICE has no difficulty finding the scoresheet, once again evidenced by his terrific play in November that saw him tally nine times and add 11 assists across 10 appearances. Currently riding a 12-game point streak that dates back to late October, recent weeks saw McClennon notch six multi-point performances including a season-high four-point night coming in Saturday’s 7-2 win over Medicine Hat. On the season, the budding right-wing now trails Savoie by just two points for top spot in WHL scoring.

Felix Lafrance (Chicoutimi Sagueneens) – 20 points in 10 games
Closing out his junior career in style, Chicoutimi Sagueneens overage right-wing Felix Lafrance was an offensive force throughout November, finding the scoresheet in all but one of his 10 appearances before ultimately concluding the month with eight goals and 12 assists. Most impressively, Lafrance put up three consecutive three-point nights, highlighted by a one-goal, two-assist showing coming against Cape Breton in which he paced his squad to a 4-2 victory and was later recognized as the game’s first star. In total, Lafrance has made 19 appearances on the season, notching 15 goals with 21 assists.

William Dufour (Saint John Sea Dogs) – 20 points in 11 games
Sitting a lone point shy of Roy for top spot in QMJHL scoring, Saint John Sea Dogs right-wing and New York Islanders draftee William Dufour may be best described as a consistent offensive contributor. That was undoubtedly illustrated in November as he recorded at least one point in each of his 11 appearances – totaling eight goals and 12 assists – while his past three outings have seen him string together a trio of multi-point nights.
