The Grenoble, France native, who was named the First Star of the Game, assisted on both of the team’s goals in the third period to complete his career night. In Saturday’s win, Boudon earned the primary assist on the Lakers final goal of the game as he set up freshman forward Timo Bakos for his hat trick goal.
