The hot man this week was Zach O'Brien of the Acadie-Bathurst Titan. In two games, the offensive forward chipped in five goals and added two assists for seven points and is closing the gap between him and the leading scorer, Yanni Gourde of the Victoriaville Tigres.
The twin combination from the Maritime division have been putting up some nice numbers as of late. Allain Saulnier had a huge week putting up two goals and two assists against Cape-Breton and chipped in an assist against Halifax. His twin-brother Alex has put together a pretty nice streak of 11 games with a point. He had two goals and an assist against the Screaming Eagles and had an assist in a loss to Bathurst.
It seemed like last weeks cold man was out for redemption this week as he showed his play makers touch. Jonathan Huberdeau had three assists against Halifax and another two against Bathurst for five points in two games.
Huberdeau's Sea Dogs were on fire this past week in regaining first overall in the league, picking up two wins in two games and outscoring their opponents 12-5.
Drummondville, who is 14th place, was one of the only teams to play three games and in doing so picked up five points with wins over Victoriaville and fifth place Quebec and a tough shootout loss to the Aramada and moved themselves four points out of 13th.
Last week's cold team just can't seem to get the trained turned around. The Rempart couldn't pick up a point in two games and dropped from fourth to fifth and will once again drop in the BMO CHL standings. It is time for Roy and Quebec to turn this bus around.
Another team that struggled this week on a three game road trip were the P.E.I. Rocket. The Rocket have struggle for most of the season but saw themselves only two points out of that final playoff spot going into the road trip. The team only managed to score three goals on the road trip being out scored 17-3 and dropping to five points out of that final spot.
On the topic of Patrick Roy's Quebec Rempart, the head coach has to be scratching his head towards the play of his goaltender. Louis Domingue gets the nod for coldest player of the week. One of the last cuts from this year's world juniors couldn't find his game this week, allowing four goals on 20 shots against Drummondville and four goals on 18 shots against Shawinigan, posting a GAA of 4.57 and a save percentage of .789.
Another netminder who couldn't find his stride last week was Halifax's 16-year-old standout Zachary Fucale. Fucale has had control of the reins since starter Anthony Terenzio went down with a concussion early in the season. As of late, Fucale has struggled and much of the finger pointing has to be at fatigue with 36 games played as a 16-year-old as well playing for team Quebec at the under-17's. He went 0-2 this week allowing 11 goals with a 5.56 GAA and .825 save percentage.
A slumping star who needed to step up this past week just couldn't get it done and is the last cold player of the week, although he scored two of his teams three goals Ben Duffy only had two points in three key games for the Rocket.
