Wolves’ Quentin Musty Named Cogeco OHL Player of the Week
San Jose Sharks prospect Quentin Musty of the Sudbury Wolves is the Cogeco OHL Player of the Week, contributing two goals, eight assists and 10 points while registering a plus-5 rating in three games.
Musty recorded a season-high six-point night with two goals and four assists on Thursday, being named the game’s first star as the Wolves defeated the Barrie Colts 7-3. The 6-foot-2, 202lb. left-winger found the scoresheet again on Friday, registering a helper in a 7-3 loss to the Erie Otters. Musty closed out the weekend with a three-point performance on Sunday, tallying three assists as Sudbury earned their second win of the weekend against the Colts, this time on home ice.
An 18-year-old left-wing from Hamburg, NY., Musty’s 1.81 points-per-game this season is the second-highest production rate in the OHL. He ranks second among all Wolves point-getters with 56 (21-35–56) through 31 outings as the Wolves own a record of 23-14-3-2, good for second in the Eastern Conference. Selected in the first-round (26th overall) by the San Jose Sharks in the 2023 NHL Draft, the former first overall pick by the Wolves in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection has put up 59 goals, 106 assists and 165 points in 134 OHL regular season contests.
