Isaiah Bagri of the Quesnel River Rush is this week’s Young Guns selection after he scored a hat-trick against the Chase Heat.
The hometown product helped the River Rush erase a 3-1 deficit en route to a 7-6 overtime win. Bagri scored his first of the season to make it 3-3, then scored the 4-4 goal. His third goal gave the River Rush a 6-4 lead.
“He’s using his feet at both ends and is transitioning the puck well, using his shot,” said River Rush interim head coach-general manager Logan Maxwell. “He’s got a hell of a shot and he’s getting himself in positions to shoot the puck.”
In five games, Bagri has three goals and two assists.
