Videotron Player of the Week | Thomas Desruisseaux (March 18, 2024)
The latest QMJHL Videotron Player of the Week is Chicoutimi Saguenéens forward Thomas Desruisseaux. The 18-year-old from Levis, Quebec scored four times and added three assists while the Sags went 2-0-0-0 in their battle for positioning in the Eastern Conference standings.
On Wednesday night in Rimouski, Desruisseaux had a night to remember, recording his first career QMJHL hat trick in a 7-2 Chicoutimi victory over the Oceanic. That performance earned the sophomore forward, who also finished with a +2 rating on the night, second star honors for the contest.
Desruisseaux was right back on the scoresheet at home on Friday night. This time, it would be a four-point effort that would help propel the Saguenéens to a back-and-forth 7-6 triumph over the Quebec Remparts. One of Desruisseaux’s three assists on the night came on the game-winning tally. This time, he would be chosen as third star on the evening.
Drafted 11th overall by the Cape Breton Eagles at the 2022 QMJHL Entry Draft, Desruisseaux was dealt to the Saguenéens during last season’s holiday trade period. Since then, the crafty forward has taken off, registering 90 points in 100 regular season games with the Sags.
