He also finds himself tied for ninth place in the entire league in the scoring department. Beauregard is currently on a six-game point streak and has scored multiple points in five of his last six outings.
CHL Scoring Leaders
During this past week, Beauregard recorded nine points in his four games played and scored multiple points in each contest. Wichita won all four games and Beauregard’s presence was one of the main reasons. In his first outing on Tuesday, Beauregard notched the game-winning goal early in the third, plus an assist, giving his team a 5-3 win over the Fort Wayne Komets. On Friday, Beauregard notched another assist and buried the game with an empty netter to beat the Killer Bee’s 4-1.
He carried his strong play into Saturday night’s 3-0 domination against the Killer Bees and notched a goal in both the second and third period. Although playing for a third time in three days, Beauregard still played strong and put up a goal and two assists to help his team beat the Brahmas 4-3 on Sunday. He was named first star on the night and pushed his point streak to six games.
CHL Standings
Wichita is the hottest team in the Central Hockey League right now with a 17-7-0 record and 34 points; they find themselves tied for the number one spot in both the Berry Conference and the league.
