The Three Stars of the Week
1. RW Danny Kristo has returned to prominence in rather dramatic fashion this week. After only one assist in his previous six contests, Kristo rediscovered his scoring touch to help end a 4-game losing streak for North Dakota with three goals and two assists over a 2-game series with Colorado College. Kristo snapped a goal scoring drought of six games a mere 36 seconds into the game on Friday night and in what became a wild 7-6 game, Kristo would score his team’s 6th goal to tie the game, than assisted on the game-winning goal. Kristo became just as instrumental in his team’s victory on Saturday night, assisting on the team’s first go-ahead goal and then scoring the game-winner in a 4-3 victory. Kristo’s 7 goals, 10 assists in 14 games have him tied for the team lead in points and tied 20th overall in NCAA scoring. Kristo was drafted in the 2nd round, 56th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2008 Entry Draft.
2. LW Steve Quailer surprisingly makes his 2nd straight appearance on Habs Future, but very worthy by having the most productive game of his NCAA career with Northeastern University. Against the University of Michigan on Friday night, Quailer scored his team’s first goal to tie the game at 1-1, than assisted on the next two goals to help bring his team a rare win in the standings in an eventual 4-1 victory. Quailer’s goal and two assists raised him to a point per game pace with 4 goals, 7 assists in 11 games, also making him the scoring leader at Northeastern University. Quailer was drafted in the 3rd round, 86th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2008 Entry Draft.
3. C Louis Leblanc is keeping to tradition, the perennial rookie now on his 5th team in 5 years is working his way to be the scoring leader of the Hamilton Bulldogs. Leblanc collected a goal and two assists as the Bulldogs continued their plunge, losing all three games on the week but Hamilton does have a continual bright spot in the rookie Leblanc. Leblanc now has 4 goals and 6 assists in 14 games, which has him tied for 2nd overall in team scoring. It is notable that Leblanc has played five fewer games than his closest competitors for the team scoring lead while he is coming off of recovery from shoulder surgery. Leblanc was drafted in the 1st round, 18th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2009 Entry Draft.
