One of the Wild's prospects Riley Heidt has been named the WHL's player of the week.
Riley Heidt played four games during the week for the Prince George Cougars where he notched four goals and seven assists for 11 points.
Heidt, 18, wrapped up the week with a goal and three assists on Saturday to help the Cougars beat the Kelowna Rockets 6-5.
The 5-foot-10 center has 32 goals and 101 points in 56 games for the Cougars and is currently on pace for 38 goals, 81 assists, and 119 points in 66 games.
He is currently on pace for 282 career points as an 18-year-old in the WHL. That would put him 23rd in WHL history for most career points as an 18-year-old, according to QuantHockey.com.
That puts him ahead of players like Sam Reinhart, Dean Evason, Brayden Schenn, Jarome Iginla, Brayden Point, Dylan Cozens, Mark Stone, and Matthew Barzal.
Heidt is having an incredible season and he still has ten games left in the regular season. The future continues to look bright for the Wild.
