November 18, 2019 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL) News Release

Toronto, Ont. - The Ontario Hockey League today announced that Arizona Coyotes prospect Jan Jenik of the Hamilton Bulldogs is the OHL 'On the Run' Player of the Week with a league-leading 10 points including five goals and five assists over three games.

Jenik extended his current point streak to a league-high 20 games, helping the Bulldogs go 2-1 on a weekend road trip with stops in North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. Jenik headlined Thursday's 5-1 road win over the Battalion with a first star performance, racking up a career-high five points including a hat-trick and two assists as he was in on all five Bulldogs goals. Hamilton came up just short on Friday, falling 4-3 in Sault Ste. Marie but Jenik earned second star honours with two goals as he scored in a third straight game. The 6-foot-1 centre picked up three assists and went 15-for-32 in the faceoff circle in Sunday's 21-goal explosion between Hamilton and Sudbury as the Bulldogs claimed an 11-10 overtime victory.

A 19-year-old native of Nymburk, Czech Republic, Jenik is currently tied for second in OHL scoring with 43 points (17-26--43) over 20 games. The sophomore forward has recorded a point in each game he has played this season and is on a current run of four consecutive multi-point outings. Jenik joined the Bulldogs midway through last season and registered 30 points (13-17--30) over 27 games. Originally Flint's first round (6th overall) pick in the 2018 CHL Import Draft, Jenik represented the Czech Republic at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in Vancouver, recording two assists over three games. He was Arizona's third round (65th overall) pick in the 2018 NHL Draft.

Also considered for the award this week was Ottawa 67's overage winger Joseph Garreffa who recorded nine points (5-4--9) including back-to-back four-point performances on Ottawa's three-game weekend road trip. Soo Greyhounds winger Tye Kartye also had a strong week, recording eight points (3-5--8) over three straight wins as the Hounds came back strong from a seven-game slide.
