The Sarnia Sting's Christian Kyrou has been named the Ontario Hockey League's player of the week.

The 19-year-old defenceman scored two goals, and had five assists, for seven points in three games. He also had a plus-minus rating of plus six.

Kyrou started his week off strong on Wednesday, recording an assist along with the shootout game winner as the Sting defeated the Soo Greyhounds 4-3 to clinch a spot in the OHL Playoffs.

He found the scoresheet again on Friday, also recording three helpers as the Sting defeated the visiting London Knights 6-1.
