Former Los Angeles Jr. King Cole Guttman, a Tampa Bay Lightning draft pick, was named the NCHC Forward of the Week for the week ending Feb. 23 with the University of Denver.

Former Los Angeles Jr. King Cole Guttman was named the National Collegiate Hockey Conference Forward of the Week for the week ending Feb. 23.

A sophomore forward at the University of Denver, Guttman paced all conference skaters with six points on three goals and three assists last weekend as the Pioneers a two-game sweep over Miami University.

Drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2017, Guttman recorded two goals and one assist on Friday, then added his NCAA-leading sixth game-winning goal and two more helpers on Saturday.

Guttman claimed a conference-leading three power-play points and a plus-4 rating. He also went 21-13 in the faceoff circle.

The 1999-born Guttman celebrated a Pacific District championship with the Jr. Kings in 2015-16 with a Jack Bowkus-led team that also included NHL draft picks Jack McGrew (San Jose Jr. Sharks) and Jack St. Ivany (Philadelphia Flyers).
