It was a remarkable run for the Isles 2019 fifth-round pick (147th overall), who recorded 23 points (13G, 10A) during his 17-game run from Nov. 29 to Jan. 14. Newkirk's 17-game heater tied Eli Zummack for the longest point streak in the Western Hockey League this season.
While Newkirk was held off the scoresheet on Friday, he was back in a big way over the weekend, recording four points (2G, 2A) in a pair of wins over the Kelowna Rockets. Newkirk had three points (1G, 2A) in a 7-0 win on Saturday - his fifth, three-point game this season - and notched a goal in a 3-2 win on Sunday.
To date, Newkirk has 53 points (21G, 32A) in 42 games, one point back of the Winterhawks scoring lead. Newkirk is close to setting new career-highs, as he's two goals, four assists and six points (23G, 36A, 59P) shy of his previous highs, all set last season.

BIBEAU HAS THREE-POINT WEEK:

Felix Bibeau recorded three points (1G, 2A) in two games last week, as Chicoutimi skated to a pair of wins over Shawinigan and Baie-Comeau.
Bibeau had a pair of assists in a 7-4 win over Shawinigan on Friday, marking his 13th multi-point game of the season. The Isles' 2019 sixth-round pick (178th overall) potted his 20th goal of the season in Sunday's 6-3 victory over Baie-Comeau.
Bibeau is scoring a point-per-game since being acquired by Chicoutimi, with 12 points (3G, 9A) in 12 games since joining his new club.
