Just What You Would Expect From Nilsson

Robert Nilsson got the nod as the CCM Vector/AHL Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 13th - Nov. 19th. The award was for recording an assist in Bridgeport’s 3-2 shootout loss to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday. He then collected a pair of goals and an assist in a 5-1 win at Worcester on Friday night before scoring two more goals and assisting on the overtime game-winner in Saturday’s 4-3 road defeat of division rival Hershey.

He was the 15th overall pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Islanders.

Can you name the other Sound Tigers to get this honor and when?

Wade Dubielewicz for the week ending 1/1/2006
Dieter Kochan for the week ending 2/20/2005
Jeff Hamilton for the week ending 11/20/2003
Trent Hunter for the week ending 2/23/2003
Juraj Kolnik for the week ending 3/31/2002

Give yourself HUGE bonus points if you got Juraj without looking it up.
