The Toronto product is projected to end the season with 84 points, 18 more than he had last year, which was his previous best in the OJHL.
Patrick will be presented with an OJHL watch from Baron Championship Rings at a Huskies home game.
Barret Joynt of the Trenton Golden Hawks was runner-up to Saini as the East Conference Player-of-the-Month. The 20-year-old Kingston native scored 10 goals and had five assists in eight games. Joynt played four seasons with Wellington of the OJHL before being acquired by Trenton this season.
