Three Stars of the Week – 9/29-10/5

Luke Adam (Montreal – QMJHL) – Adam closed the week with a three goal, two assist performance against Victoriaville. The 6’3 forward, who also blocked nine shots in the week’s two games, now has 9 points in five games after scoring the first hat trick of the season for the Sabres prospects.

Dennis Persson (Timra IK – SEL) – The defenseman had a goal and an assist last week, but the story is ice time. After seeing an average of 7:22 in 21 games with Djurgardens in 2007-08, the 6’1 Swede has averaged 17:12 this season with Timra. He logged a career-high 22:21 in Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Lulea.

Paul Byron (Gatineau – QMJHL) – Byron usually lands here because of his goal scoring ability, but this week we tip our cap to his faceoff dominance. In three games last week, the 5’9, 170-pounder won 40 of his 57 faceoffs (70%).
