Trois-Rivières Lions forward Brooklyn Kalmikov, whose team is affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens, has been named the ECHL Player of the Week for the period of October 19–25. It marks the second time in his career that the No. 9 has received the honour, following an outstanding weekend in Virginia!
Across three games against the Norfolk Admirals, Kalmikov recorded eight points, including four goals and four assists, playing a direct role in all three Lions victories.
On Friday, he scored a goal and added an assist in a 6–3 win. The following day, he scored twice in a 4–3 victory. On Sunday, he capped off his trip with a goal and three assists in a dominant 7–1 triumph.
Kalmikov has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, recording 10 points in five games. He is tied with teammates Mathieu Bizier and Anthony Beauregard, who have also tallied 10 points since the start of the season.
The 25-year-old forward now has 229 points in 269 career ECHL games with the Lions, the Maine Mariners and the Wheeling Nailers. He has also appeared in eight American Hockey League (AHL) games with the Providence Bruins and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
