Today the Professional Women’s Hockey League announced their Player of the Week for the week of March 16th through 22nd.
Kelly Pannek (F – MIN)
- Frost alternate captain Kelly Pannek led all players with three goals and four points in two games and has been named PWHL Player of the Week presented by SharkNinja. The 30-year-old from Plymouth, MN, recorded consecutive multi-point performances for the second time this season, first with two goals in a 5-0 win over Ottawa on Wednesday, then with the winning goal and an assist in a 3-1 victory over Vancouver on Saturday. The goal was her league-leading fifth on the power play and made her the first in the PWHL to score 12 times this season. Pannek has points in five straight games (4G, 3A) since winning Olympic gold in Milan and is tied for the PWHL lead with 22 points in 21 games alongside teammates Britta Curl-Salemme (9G, 13A) and Taylor Heise (7G, 15A). She is also the next closest player to joining the PWHL’s half-century club for career points with 49 (19G, 30A) in 75 games.
