Saturday FTB: Veeti Miettinen gets an award then an injury

It was a bit of a roller coaster week for Leafs’ prospect Veeti Miettinen. On Thursday he was named the NCHC Rookie of the Year after leading the St. Cloud Huskies in points as a rookie on their third line.

Unanimous All-Rookie Team Selection: u2705
Second Team All-Conference: u2705
NCHC Rookie of the Year: u2705

This guy is pretty good, don't you think?
