Filip Mesar’s development with the Kitchener Rangers will undoubtedly make the Montreal Canadiens front-runner happy.
The Slovakian continued to dominate the Ontario Junior League (OHL) with a hat trick and an assist against the Erie Otters on Tuesday night.
Mesar scored two goals in the first period to give his team a 4-1 lead, then completed his hat trick on a power play in the second period.
Mesar, CH’s first-round pick in 2022, transferred to Kitchener for the second straight year due to player overload in Laval.
With 22 points, including eight goals in 11 games this season, Mesar has found his way to the OHL.
