Islanders prospect news? On a summer weekend? When a dude scores four goals in a game to send his host team to the Memorial Cup Final, it feels like kind of a big deal.
And that’s exactly what Saint John Sea Dogs forward and Islanders 2020 fifth round pick William Dufour did today.
With his team trailing the QMJHL champion Shawinigan Cataractes 3-0 after one period and with a berth in next week’s championship game on the line, Dufour scored two goals in 21 seconds early in the second period, then completed his natural hat trick at the 8:38 mark to tie the game.
