Player - Of - The - Week
“Wild Bill” Ezinicki, whose goal with only 21 seconds of play remaining Saturday night, sent Boston Bruins crashing out of first place in the National Hockey League as Toronto Maple Leafs won 3-2, has been named by THE HOCKEY NEWS as the player for the past week and winner of the Morgan Hat Award.
