Chiefs’ Bowman earns second straight award

For the second straight week, Spokane’s Drayson Bowman is the Western Hockey League Player of the Week.

The 18-year-old left-winger, in his third full season with the Chiefs, collected eight points in two games last week, augmenting five goals with three assists, as Spokane won twice to extend its second-longest win streak of the season to six games.

During the current streak, Bowman, a third-round draft pick of the Carolina Hurricanes in June, has 12 goals and five assists, raising his season totals to 23 goals and 19 assists. His goal total is tied for first in the WHL, his points rank second.

The U.S. Division-leading Chiefs, three points up on Tri-City, embark on a five-game trip through the Central Division beginning Friday in Calgary.
