The 6-foot-1, 185-pound winger leads the Americans in goals, powerplay goals (four), shorthanded goals (two) and points.
Whynott, from Langley, B.C., was originally selected by the Calgary Hitmen in the second round of the 2019 WHL Prospects Draft before being acquired by the Americans in an offseason trade ahead of the 2023-24 season.
He’s tallied 47 goals and 64 assists for 111 points in 240 career regular-season games over parts of five seasons.
Whynott has played a key role in Tri-City’s early-season success, 10 ten multi-point games and only seven nights where he’s been held off the scoresheet.
