Ekblad smacked in four goals plus an assist Saturday in his second game back from the tourney as Barrie bested Kingston 8-5. The monster game gives the big defender 14 goals, including 10 with the man advantage, and 31 total points through 31 games.
Sam Reinhart returned with a first-star performance of his own, collecting two goals and a helper Sunday to guide Kootenay to a 5-4 win over Edmonton. The three-point night gives the 18-year old 53 points (18+35) in 34 games - including six power play goals, two short-handed goals, and three game winners - all the while logging a plus-seven rating and just one minor penalty.
