The QMJHL named Highmore the third star
of the week after registering three goals and four assists during Saint John’s
three-in-three. Sherbrooke goaltender Evan Fitzpatrick and Gatineau forward
Vitalii Abramov were named the first and second stars of the week,
respectively.
Highmore has been unbelievable in the
month of January, recording eight goals and eight assists in eight games. He
has points in seven straight games and has been held goalless just three times
this month.
After a disappointing offensive season
last year, Highmore has already tied his career high in points with 50, set in the
2013-14 season. With 17 goals, he is also nearing his career high of 19 set during 2013-14.
Highmore is Saint John’s leading
scoring, sitting one point ahead of Mathieu Joseph.
