His week also included a goal and two assists in an 8-5 home win over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on Friday.

Marner, a 17-year-old from Thornhill, ON, is playing in his second career OHL season with the Knights. A top prospect for the 2015 NHL Draft, Marner is currently seventh in OHL scoring with 22 points in 16 games and will represent Team OHL in the SUBWAY Super Series on November 17 in Kingston.

Also considered for the award this week was Arizona Coyotes prospect Laurent Dauphin of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens who recorded six points in two games tallying three goals and three assists, while Winnipeg Jets prospect Josh Morrissey also scored three goals and three assists for six points but in four contests for the Prince Albert Raiders.
