Big week for the prospects, after the Thunder of the ECHL blow up when it comes to Oilers prospects.
A hat trick for Safin with seven points and Hebig having five himself.
Congrats going out to both Lavoie and Rodrigue for making the Team Canada world juniors team.
Congrats to all six #QMJHL players (and one alumnus)* who will represent Canada at the upcoming #WorldJuniors!
