Three Stars: April 12, 2019

1ST STAR: MORGAN FROST (SAULT STE. MARIE GREYHOUNDS):
Philadelphia Flyers prospect Morgan Frost had a night to remember, recording a career playoff-high four points including his first postseason hat-trick as the Soo Greyhounds skated to a 6-2 win in Saginaw. Initially down 3-0, the Hounds have won back-to-back contests to return home with a wave of momentum for Game 6 and Frost played a big part in the latest triumph. The 19-year-old from Aurora, Ont. now has 18 points (7-11–18) over 10 playoff contests, the league’s second-highest total. Frost, who represented Canada at the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in January, recently wrapped up his second of back-to-back 100+ point campaigns. He was Philadelphia’s first round pick in 2017.

3RD STAR: NICK SUZUKI (GUELPH STORM):
Montreal Canadiens prospect Nick Suzuki was buzzing on Friday, netting the third period game winner along with an empty netter as the Guelph Storm wrestled away control of the series momentum from the London Knights with a 3-1 road win.
