The Videotron Player of the Week is Shawinigan Cataractes centerman Kody Dupuis. In a pair of home games, the 18-year-old from Blainville, Quebec scored twice and added four assists while the Cataractes went 2-0-0-0 to maintain their spot in the top half of the Western Conference Standings.
On Friday night, Dupuis and the Cataractes put on an offensive show. The third-year veteran achieved a new single-game high with four points, all assists, in a 10-0 Shawinigan whitewash of the Victoriaville Tigres. Dupuis also finished the game with an impressive +4 rating while also winning 10 of 17 faceoffs.
The following afternoon, Dupuis switched from playmaker to sniper, scoring twice, including a late-game insurance marker into an open net, to secure a 4-2 Cataractes triumph over the Chicoutimi Saguenéens. It was the Assistant Captain’s third straight multi-point game in what represented the Cats’ fourth straight victory.
Dupuis has recorded 19 points in 34 games this campaign, nine of which have been scored over the past four contests. Originally drafted by the Cataractes in the fifth round of the 2022 QMJHL Entry Draft, Dupuis was also a free agent invite of the Minnesota Wild this past fall.
