Boucherville, Que. - The Ultramar Player of the Week is forward Alex Barré-Boulet (Armada | Blainville-Boisbriand) who dominated the Q by collecting eight points in only two games played.

He first tied the game at 4-4 by scoring with just 67 seconds left on the game's clock, before becoming the game's hero by netting the game-winner in overtime.
By scoring what was his 9th game-winning goal of the year, Barré-Boulet has already tied the Armada's franchise record for most game-winning goals in a season. He also tied another franchise record in the process by picking up a point in an 18th consecutive game.
Other players considered for the Ultramar Player of the Week honors were goaltender Derek Baribeau (Remparts | Québec) et rookie phenom Alexis Lafreni-re (Océanic | Rimouski).
Baribeau ended his week with one regulation win and two shootout losses despite putting up an impressive .957% save percentage and a 1.25 goals-against average. He was selected as one of the game's three stars in each of his three outings.
As for Lafreni-re he scored twice and picked up four helpers over the four games he played last week. In a 6-4 win over Shawinigan on Saturday, the 16-year-old ended the game with four points. It was already his 10th game of two points or more in his very first season in the QMJHL.
