A day later on the B.C. side of the border, Bellerive closed out his week with a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win, earning first star honours in the contest.

Overall, Bellerive finished with eight points (4G-4A) at even strength while two points (1G-1A) came on the power play.

He sits sixth in the WHL for goals, eighth in WHL scoring and third in power play goals.

The 5-foot-11, 192-pound product of North Vancouver B.C. was originally selected by the Hurricanes in the first round, second overall, of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft.
