To continue the alliterative trend, it’s awesomeness.

In case you missed it

Rasmus picked up two assists in two games this weekend, but that’s not even the main story. Andersson was at the AHL All-Star game, where he added some content to his highlight tape. Let’s start with the skills competition, so here’s a sweet shootout move:
And here’s him obliterating a hockey puck:
For the actual game itself, he recorded two goals and three assists:
The AHL All-Star Game is near the bottom of the importance scale, but it’s pretty promising to see a defender like Ras do what he does.
(Unrelated to the ASG, but here’s him chucking knuckles for the first time in his professional career. Kid can do everything!)

Fischer only scored two goals in four games this week, a slow down given his body of work over the whole season, but one of those goals was pretty clever:

I wrote similar words last week, but Foo has really begun to pick up the slack for the forward-depleted Heat. He picked up five points in two games this weekend, including a shorthanded goal. Here’s the other two goals:

Harvard didn’t score a single goal this weekend, so it makes sense why Fox has no points. His struggles with Harvard this year mean that he’ll need 28 points to match his last season totals. He only has eight games left in the regular season before the ECAC hockey tournament, which Harvard probably won’t go far in, so he might have 10 more games left this season.

Perhaps you’ve heard already, but Joly tied a Baie-Comeau team record with a six-assist game against Charlottestown. It’s certainly amplifying his performances, but Joly has been sneaky good all year. Hopefully this is a dam-burst moment for him.

Three assists for Kylington this week. He’s been a bit overshadowed by fellow Swede Andersson, but don’t forget about Oliver. He is currently doing better than Rasmus in the categories of points per game, primary points per game, estimated 5v5 points/60, and estimated 5v5 primary points/60.

Lomberg appears to have been rewarded for consistent strong play at the AHL, and will remain in the NHL while there’s a spot open. Getting Zack Kassian tossed in your first NHL game is probably strong resume material.

Mangiapane is also sticking around in the NHL for the time being. He should be getting a few more minutes than he already gets, but I wouldn’t considered him graduated just yet. Depending on when Kris Versteeg comes back, Mangiapane could finish the season in the AHL.

Now this is something to look at. Pollock burned his former parent club (Dallas) by scoring four goals on their AHL team, including a hat trick. Pollock has had a rough go of things professionally, but if this is the start of something good, who’s going to complain?

Ruzicka’s recovered from a nosedive to become one of the Sting’s better players in recent weeks. His NHLe has bounced back into the 30s, which is generally a promising sign for prospects. He also crossed the 20 even strength goals plateau this week, and is sixth in that category across the whole OHL (three goals out of first, however).

Gillies had a rough week, allowing two goals on 22 shots (0.909 SV%) in game one against the Texas Stars and allowing four on 22 (0.818) in game two. Being the only goalie in town probably doesn’t help, as he’s started 10 of the last 12 games. Since Eddie Lack was traded, the Heat seem to not want to use anyone besides Gillies, which is a minor problem for fatigue and such, given the league usually schedules a lot of back-to-backs. Nothing wrong with getting a starter’s workload, but this perhaps explains some of his recent struggles.

Parsons is back in KC, mostly for playing time purposes. He wasn’t getting any ice time in Stockton, and McDonald lost the starting job to another ECHL goalie, so it makes sense to at least get one of the Flames’ prospect goalies ice time. Parsons stopped 24 of 29 (0.828 SV%) in his return, but put up a much better 34/35 (0.971 SV%) in his next game.
