Hudie helped the Caps to four of a possible six points putting up five goals and an assist along the way. The native of Westland, Michigan opened his week with a goal in a 7-4 loss to Nanaimo but upped the ante to a pair of goals, including the game-winner, plus an assist for 1st Star in a 4-2 win over Merritt.
