Videotron Player of the Week | Donovan Arsenault (January 22, 2024)
The latest Videotron Player of the Week is Baie-Comeau Drakkar winger, Donovan Arsenault. The 19-year-old from Richmond, PEI scored six times and added a pair of assists while the league-leading Drakkar went a perfect 3-0-0-0 on the road.
On Thursday night in Rouyn-Noranda, two of the league’s best squads faced off for the third consecutive game. Arsenault’s pair of assists against the team that drafted him in 2020 would add to an offensive barrage in the Drakkar’s 6-2 victory over the Huskies.
The following night in Val-d’Or, Arsenault made another strong impression on his new teammates, scoring in each period for his third hat trick of the season. The fourth-year veteran would also record a +4 rating and be named the game’s first star in the Drakkar’s 8-0 whitewash over the Foreurs.
It would be more of the same on Saturday afternoon, again in Val-d’Or. Arsenault would fire his second hat trick in under 24 hours, along with another +4 outing, in Baie-Comeau’s 8-1 triumph over the Foreurs. Yet again, Arsenault was named first star of the game.
Acquired by the Drakkar from Acadie-Bathurst over the holiday trade period, Arsenault has notched 43 points, including 23 goals, in 45 games between the two squads. He was originally drafted by Rouyn-Noranda in the second round of the 2020 QMJHL Entry Draft.
