AMESBURY, Mass. – Nikita Nesterenko has been named the Hockey East Player of the Week following his first career hat trick last Friday against UMass. Nesterenko added an assist for a career-high four-point performance and finished with a plus-three rating in the win with five shots on goal.
The junior has a point in seven of his last 10 games and five goals in his last five contests. Nesterenko is now tied for 10th in Hockey East in points per game (0.90) and has registered six multi-point games this season.
The Coney Island native has already established new career-highs in goals (10) and points (27) and is one assist away from setting a new career-best.
