Another week has passed, and it’s time for another LA Kings‘ weekly prospect update. This weekly update was highlighted by forward Vojtěch Čihař. Čihař, who celebrated his 19th birthday on Sunday, played in both of the Kelowna Rockets’ playoff games and recorded multi-point games in each one.
In two games, Čihař posted four points (3 G, 1 A), helping lead Kelowna to a 2-0 series lead over the Kamloops Blazers. He was named the game’s first star on Saturday, recording a goal and an assist. Kelowna will be hosting the Memorial Cup and looks primed to go on a deep playoff run.
