Registered Career High Four-Point Night in Oklahoma
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – The Corpus Christi IceRays of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are proud to announce that forward Nick Sinani has been named the South Division’s First Star of the Week.
In his final regular-season game as an IceRay, the Northville, Michigan native posted a career-high four-point performance, recording two goals and two assists in a 7–5 win over Oklahoma. Sinani opened the scoring less than two minutes into the game with a coast-to-coast highlight-reel goal. He added two assists in the second period before scoring his second goal of the night to help seal the victory.
“Saturday was a great way to end the regular season,” said Sinani. “Over the past few games, my line had plenty of opportunities but ran into some tough bounces. I used my speed to generate offense, and we capitalized on our chances. Carrying that momentum into the playoffs will be a big help for us.”
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound center had a strong second-half surge, scoring 13 of his 17 goals over the final 28 games of the season. He finished the year tied for the team lead in goals with Andrej Paricka, aided by his two-goal performance in the regular-season finale.
Sinani is heating up at the right time, with the playoffs set to begin this weekend in Shreveport. He is one of only two players on the roster with prior playoff experience, having appeared in eight postseason games last year, where he recorded one goal and two assists.
