Kyle Flanagan |
What a difference this guy makes for his team! The Saints captain missed the previous eight games with an injury, but continued his brilliant season in his return this weekend with a combined three goals and three assists and captured MVP honors at the Ledyard Bank Classic. In the 6-6 tie (won in shootout) Flanagan tied the game at three with a power-play goal and had the primary assist on SLU's fifth and sixth goals, while chipping in another assist. The following night the Canton native scored both Saint goals in the 2-2 tie with Dartmouth (also won in shootout).
Even though he's only played in 11 of St. Lawrence's 19 games, he leads the team with nine goals and 19 points. He's tallied at least one point in nine of his games, and accumulated more than one point in seven of his games. Also, his 1.73 points per game is tops in the nation.
Jack Maclellan |
Maclellan is another ECAC captain who came through big for his team this weekend. The Bears had two big wins against Hockey East foes New Hampshire and Providence, both by the score of 5-2. He netted the eventual game-winning goal and chipped in an assist against UNH, and did the same against the Friars in the battle for the Mayor's Cup, scoring the eventual GWG while shorthanded and adding an assist. Maclellan also leads his team in goals and points.
Third Star: Brian O'Neill (Yale)
Ok, I know Bentley is pretty terrible, but you still have to give any guy some credit for scoring four goals in a game. No matter who you play, that's still a pretty great feat. Oh, and he is also the captain of his team and leads his team in goals and points. Funny how it worked this week, right?
O'Neill also tallied three assists in the exhibition game against the Russian Touring Team on Thursday.
