The Condors’ captain helped lead the team to a 3-1-0 record on the week by amassing eight points (2g-6a) in the four games played.

After earning an assist in the team’s 3-2 loss to Utah on Wednesday, the left-winger went on to record multi-point games in the next three Condors victories. In Friday’s 5-2 win over the Grizzlies, he tallied a career-high three assists.
