Eastman Selects forward Devon Skoleski is the Manitoba "AAA" Midget Hockey League's Player of the Week.

The 17-year-old St. Adolphe native had a five-point week, including four points on the power play.

He scored once and added four assists as the Selects defeated the Kenora Thistles 4-3 in a shootout; edged the Winnipeg Thrashers 4-3 in overtime and beat the Southwest Cougars 5-3.

Skoleski, a prospect of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League's Winnipeg Blues, now has 19 goals and 24 assists on the season.

The second place Selects (25-9), who are riding a six-game winning streak, will meet the Brandon Wheat Kings in Beausejour this Saturday and then face the Thistles in Kenora on Sunday.

Eastman is five points back of the league leading Winnipeg Wild who do have four games in hand on the Selects.
