    Sophomore forward Sam Harris was among the NCHC Players of the Week for Week 6 after tallying three goals in the Denver Pioneers' sweep over Lindenwood.

    Another week, another Denver weekly honor. Two, actually.

    Sophomore forward Sam Harris was recognized for his efforts with his first NCHC Forward of the Week honor.

    Harris tallied three goals, including two on Saturday during Denver's weekend sweep over Lindenwood.

    The Montreal Canadiens draft pick scored in the Pioneers' three-goal second period on Friday night. Harris then tallied a pair of goals in the third period of Saturday's game.

    Harris finished the weekend with three goals, two being game-winners, on four shots and now has 13 points on the year, tied for the third-most on Denver's roster.

    Defenseman of the Week: Jake Livanavage (North Dakota)

    Livanavage picked up his third Defenseman of the Week award and first of the season.

    The sophomore defenseman powered North Dakota to a weekend sweep on the road against Minnesota Duluth.

    Livanavage tallied five points (all assists), including three helpers on Friday night. The Phoenix, Arizona, native leads all UND defensemen with 13 points.

    Goaltender of the Week: Matt Davis (Denver)

    This marks Matt Davis' third NCHC Goaltender of the Week award but first this season.

    The senior netminder backstopped Denver to a weekend sweep over Lindenwood, making a combined 41 saves between the two games.

    Davis turned aside 23-of-24 in the Pioneers' 4-1 win on Friday night. He turned around and stopped 28-of-29 on Saturday night.

    The Calgary, Alberta, native owns the second-best goals-against average (1.34) and save percentage (.942) in the NCHC this season.

    Rookie of the Week: Austin Burnevik (St. Cloud)

    Burnevik has established himself as one of the top freshmen in college hockey this season. This marks his second Rookie of the Week honor.

    The Anaheim Ducks draft pick finished the weekend with three goals and helped St. Cloud to a sweep over Miami (OH).

    Burnevik scored a pair of goals in Saturday's 3-1 win, marking his second multi-goal effort of the season.

    He is now tied for the third-most points (11) among freshmen skaters.
