FRISCO, TX - Hot on the heels of a four-point weekend,Bismarck Bobcat forward Nick Jensen was named the Sherwood NAHL CentralDivision Player of the Week Monday.

"It's a great honor anytime you get player of the week," saidJensen, "but right now it's just as big of an honor to be a part of this team.Everyone here is playing so well, this feels more like a team award than onefor me. It's a great way to end a great month for our team."

The Bobcats finished November with a 7-0-2 record.

The 6'3" 210 pound native of Copenhagen, Denmark, talliedtwo goals and picked up a pair of assists to help guide the first-place Bobcatsto a 2-0-1 record over the Thanksgiving weekend and extend their lead in thestandings to five points over second-place Owatonna.

Both of Jensen's goals were of the game-winning variety,including his short-handed score- the first shorthanded marker for the Bobcatsthis season- Friday against the Alexandria Blizzard.

"Nick has really elevated his game over the last couple ofweeks," said Bobcats head coach Byron Pool. "He got off to aslow start, but lately his play has been tremendous. He's a big man withtremendous skill, and he's very tough to defend against when he's playing atthe top of his game."

Jensen's offensive resurgence has coincided with being puton a line with fellow veterans Jason Fabian and Sean McKenzie on October 14thagainst the Owatonna Express. Since that line was assembled, Jensen has fourgoals and five assists in eight games. The Jensen-Fabian-McKenzie has combinedfor 10 goals and 20 assists in that time span.

The Danish forward now has seven goals and 12 assists,putting him at fourth in scoring on the Bobcats.

It is the fourth time a Bobcat player has picked up a Playerof the Week nod in the month of November with McKenzie (Nov. 16) and Sam Rendle(Nov. 2 and 23) also receiving the award.
