POLETIN’S FIVE-GAME POINT STREAK

Tomas Poletin is on a five-game point streak for the Kelowna Rockets to kick off his WHL career, with eight points (5G, 3A) over that span.

Poletin was the hero in Wednesday’s 5-4 victory over the Prince George Cougars, scoring off the dot with nine seconds left in the game to break a 4-4 tie. The last-minute game winner earned the Islanders’ 2025 fourth-round pick (106th overall) second-star of the game honors.

After he contributed an assist in Friday’s 3-1 loss to the Seattle Thunderbirds, Poletin lit the lamp again in the next game with his fifth goal of the season in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Penticton Vees. The 6’2,” 206 lbs. forward was quick to pick up the loose change at the right side of the net to take a 3-2 advantage. The 18-year-old finished with a team-high six shots on goal.

The Czechia native leads the Rockets in goals (5) and points (8). His five goals are good for third among WHL rookies.

EISERMAN’S THREE GOALS IN TWO GAMES

Cole Eiserman is on fire to start his sophomore year with BU, with five goals in his first three games.

The 19-year-old recorded his second consecutive multi-goal game on Friday with a pair of power-play tallies in BU’s 6-2 win over Colgate. Eiserman potted his first PPG in the second period – with teammate and fellow Isles prospect Kamil Bednarik contributing a secondary helper. Eiserman whipped in a one-timer from the slot for his second power-play goal of the game to take a commanding 5-1 lead for BU.

The 20th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft went top shelf for his fifth goal of the season in a 2-2 tie against Colegate on Saturday.

Per BU Hockey Stats, Eiserman is the fastest Terrier to score five goals in a season since Mike Pandolfo in 1998-99, who reached the same mark in three games. Eiserman’s five goals are tied for second in the NCAA.
