He was named first star of the game.
Alberni was back on home ice on Saturday night to take on the West Kelowna Warriors and O’Brien repeated his three-point performance in a 3-1 victory. With the score 0-0 entering the second period, he chipped in with two assists to give his team a 2-0 advantage, then scored his 14th of the season early in the third. He earned first-star honours for the second game in a row.
O’Brien is third in team scoring with 33 points in 36 games, while his 14 goals are second most on the club.
