It’s not often that a professional hockey player scores eight points in two games which makes Belleville Senators forward Jan Jeník the obvious choice for the Howies Hockey Tape/AHL Player of the Week.
Jeník posted eight points ( one goal and seven assists) and a plus-six rating in two wins last weekend against the Bridgeport Islanders.
Jeník matched a franchise record by recording five assists in a 6-1 win on Friday night.
Then, on Saturday, he scored the game-winning goal, dished out two more assists and registered a game-high five shots on goal in another 6-1 Senators victory as Belleville improved to 8-0-1-0 in its last nine home contests.
A fifth-year pro, Jeník has totalled nine goals and 14 assists for 23 points in 38 games for Belleville this season and has also appeared in two games with the parent Ottawa Senators.
The Belleville Senators’ next action is this weekend with a home-at-home series with the Toronto Marlies, Friday night at CAA Arena and Saturday at Coca Cola Coliseum in Toronto.
