Catching the Torch February 3rd to February 9th

The Three Stars

1. Sven Andrighetto

In one of the finest performances that Catching the Torch has ever recorded for a member of the Hamilton Bulldogs, Sven Andrighetto caught fire for Hamilton this past week. Andrighetto would begin the week with the best single-game points performance of his professional career, scoring a goal and three assists versus the Rockford IceHogs, however it would unfortunately fall short of victory in a 6-4 loss to Rockford. He would go without a point in his next game, a 4-2 loss to the Milwaukee Admirals. He would mark a pair of assists in his next game, a 5-4 overtime victory versus the Binghamton Senators, including an assist on the tying goal in the 3rd period. He would complete his week scoring a pair of goals in a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Marlies, including notching the game-winning goal. Andrighetto is currently 2nd on Hamilton in team scoring. Sven Andrighetto was drafted in the 3rd round, 86th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2013 NHL Draft.

2. Jarred Tinordi

While scoring is not exactly what Jarred Tinordi was drafted for, his past week saw him mark some impressive contributions to the Hamilton Bulldogs efforts. After going without a point in his first two games of the week in losses to the Rockford IceHogs and Milwaukee Admirals, Tinordi would become the winning difference in Hamilton's game versus the Binghamton Senators, assisting on the game-tying goal in the 3rd period and then hitting the back of the net himself for the overtime winner. Tinordi would surprise further when he marked a 2nd goal in as many games to open the scoring for the Hamilton Bulldogs in a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Marlies in the following game. Jarred Tinordi was drafted in the 1st round, 22nd overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 2010 NHL Draft.

3. Tim Bozon

Perhaps the most dangerous Canadiens prospect in the CHL since the New Year, Tim Bozon has emerged as a key offensive weapon for the Kootenay Ice since they acquired him from the Kamloops Blazers. After going without a point in a 6-3 win over the Saskatoon Blades, Bozon would soon light up the scoresheet. In a 3 goal, 1 assist performance in an 8-1 victory over the Lethbridge Hurricanes. His hat trick against Lethbridge was the 3rd of his WHL career. Bozon would complete the week scoring a pair of assists in a rematch versus Lethbridge that would see a closer result, but a similar outcome in a 4-2 victory for Kootenay. Bozon has scored fourteen goals in his last fifteen games. Tim Bozon was drafted in the 3rd round, 64th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2012 NHL Draft.
