Brandt Clarke highlighted the LA Kings pipeline with an excellent three-game performance during the week. When choosing which prospect highlighted this past week, it was an easy choice as Brandt Clarke posted five goals and six assists for eleven points in three games for the Barrie Colts, He even recorded a hat trick (as well as two assists) in the Colts’ 11-4 win last Saturday over the Niagra IceDogs.

While he has only been in the OHL for two months, Clarke leads the league by averaging 1.97 points per game (59 points in 30 games). He is currently on a 15-game point streak and doesn’t look to be slowing down as the OHL playoffs begin next week.
Brandt Clarke (LAK) has 24 points and a plus-17 rating in his last 11 games. He’s also riding a 14-game streak. With all due respect to Matthew Maggio, Logan Morrison, Pavel Mintyukov, Shane Wright and the rest, he’s the best player in the O right now.
