Dzhaniyev scored six goals and added an assist for seven points in three games against Tulsa last week.

The 23-year-old scored a pair of goals in a 7-1 win on Thursday, had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime loss on Saturday and notched his third hat trick of the season in a 4-3 victory on Sunday.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Dzhaniyev leads ECHL rookies - and ranks second overall in the league - with 63 points (23g-40a) in 60 games this season.

Prior to turning pro, Dzhaniyev recorded 93 points (34g-59a) in 146 career games at Penn State University and 47 points (24g-23a) in 98 career games in the United States Hockey League with Dubuque and the U.S National Under-17 and Under 18 Teams.

On behalf of Danny Dzhaniyev, a case of pucks will be donated to a Utah youth hockey organization by Inglasco, the exclusive puck supplier of the ECHL. Since beginning its sponsorship of the award in 2000-01, Inglasco has donated more than 53,000 pucks to youth hockey organizations in ECHL cities.
