The 26-year-old scored the only goal in a 1-0 win against Atlanta on Friday before scoring a pair of goals and adding an assist in a 5-3 victory over Orlando on Saturday.

Under contract to Hershey of the American Hockey League, Kupka is tied for fifth in the ECHL with seven goals, while adding four assists for 11 points in 12 games.

Prior to turning pro, Kupka tallied 85 points (32g-53a) in 85 career games at St. Cloud State University.

On behalf of Kyler Kupka, a case of pucks will be donated to a South Carolina youth hockey organization by Inglasco, the exclusive puck supplier of the ECHL. Since beginning its sponsorship of the award in 2000-01, Inglasco has donated more than 53,000 pucks to youth hockey organizations in ECHL cities.
