Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey
League announced that New Jersey Devils prospect Pavel Zacha of
the Sarnia Sting is the Pioneer Energy OHL Player of the Week
for the week ending November 22 after scoring three goals and
three assists for six points in two games with a plus-minus
rating of plus-2.
Zacha helped the Sting win both
games last week extending the club’s winning-streak to three and
improving their record to 13-7-2-0 where they stand second place
in the West Division standings with 28 points. His week was
highlighted by a career-high five-point performance on Saturday
night scoring his first career hat-trick and adding two assists
as first star of a 6-2 win over the Niagara IceDogs. On Friday
night Zacha picked up an assist on the Sting’s lone goal scored
by Jeff King in the club’s 1-0 triumph over the Owen Sound
Attack.
An 18-year-old from Brno, Czech
Republic, Zacha is playing in his second OHL season with the
Sting after being chosen first overall by the club in the 2014
CHL Import Draft. The sixth overall pick of the Devils in the
2015 NHL Draft has already signed his entry-level contract with
the club and currently leads the Sting in scoring with 12 goals
and eight assists for 20 points in 17 games.
