PLYMOUTH, Mich. - U.S. National Under-18 Team forward Trevor Zegras (Bedford, N.Y.) was named the United States Hockey League Forward of the Week of week eight, the USHL announced today. The award marks the second for Zegras this season.

Weekend Highlights

Zegras scored twice and added an assist in the U18s 7-1 win in Omaha on Friday before scoring his third goal and dishing out his second helper of the weekend in Team USA's 7-4 victory in Dubuque on Saturday.

Zegras has recorded 13 points (5G, 8A) in eight USHL contests this season. He has also recorded at least one point in five straight games dating back to Oct. 27, with four multi-point performances in that span.

The Boston University commit leads all USHL players with 2.17 points-per-game and leads all Team USA players in scoring with his 13 points.

Zegras is a top prospect for the 2019 NHL Draft and has been listed as a first-round prospect on each of this season's NHL Central Scouting Players to Watch lists.

The Bedford, New York native has now won Forward of the Week for the second time in four weeks, as he also earned honors on Oct. 29. Zegras is in his second USHL season and has recorded 45 points (16G, 29A) in 37 regular season games, in addition to six points (1G, 5A) in eight games during Team USA's run to the Eastern Conference Final last season.

Prior to his time with Team USA, Zegras played for Avon Old Farms (USHS).

Others to earn honors this week include a pair of Muskegon Lumberjacks - defenseman Alex Yakovenko and goaltender Brandon Bussi - who both earned weekly honors for the second time in their respective USHL careers.

The U18s return to USA Hockey Arena on Wednesday (Nov. 21) for a 90’s Night Thanksgiving Eve showdown against 12-ranked Bowling Green State University.
