The Hamilton resident has 31 points in 24 games this season.
Flyers’ goaltender Tre Altiman earned Third Star after winning both of his games, 8-1 in Caledon Sunday and 2-0 – while making 36 saves – in Burlington Friday. He recorded a 0.986 save percentage during the week.
Altiman sports a 2.19 goals-against average, a save percentage of 0.929 and three shutouts this season.
