FlamesNation Prospect Update: The quest to 100

Scoring in the triple digits as a prospect is usually a very positive sign. The Flames have two such prospects who could reach that mark. Sounds pretty good.

Rasmus Andersson – D, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	38	4	22	26	16	13	9	26.37
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	1	0	0	-0.39

Just an assist for Andersson this week.

Austin Carroll – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	21	3	1	4	4	4	4	7.34
Change from last week	2	1	1	2	2	2	2	3.28

Austin Carroll’s been in the doghouse all year, but his recent good performances should allow him to keep his place in the lineup (once he returns from injury, hopefully). A goal and an assist this week, with the goal being pretty slick:

Here's a good look at ♠️'s goal. What a dipsy-doodle around a defender, and then the finish! Finish, Finish, Finish…and we're not talking about the country ?? #GetFiredUp pic.twitter.com/fiEsfLABvw

Dillon Dube – C/LW, Kelowna Rockets, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	34	22	28	50	26	37	18	34.97
Change from last week	3	1	3	4	2	4	2	-0.38

If you prorate Dube’s production over the course of a full WHL season (72 games), he would finish with 105 points. That would make him one of three Flames WHL prospects to (theoretically) hit that goal.

Zach Fischer – RW, Spokane Chiefs, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	43	22	14	36	25	25	20	19.91
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.47

One game, no points for Fischer.

Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	41	12	12	24	12	21	10	22.56
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.16

No points for Foo this week, but still ripped off 11 shots in two games. He’s the team leader in that regard, having passed 100 last game. The next closest forward, Hunter Shinkaruk, is 12 behind. He’s on pace to surpass last year’s Stockton Heat shot leader, Mark Jankowski, by 12 shots. That’s pretty good.

Adam Fox – D, Harvard Crimson, ECAC

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	19	0	12	12	5	5	1	11.91
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.4

Fox didn’t hit the scoresheet again this week, and wasn’t even on the ice for a single goal (for or against), but did rip off six shots.

Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Swift Current Broncos, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	53	44	53	97	51	72	38	43.52
Change from last week	3	4	3	7	4	5	4	0.72

With a hat trick this week, Gawdin is just three points away from 100. He’s now just a single point out of the WHL scoring lead, behind former Flames rookie camp invitee Brayden Burke. The Flames may just love WHLers with alliterative names.

Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	31	0	1	1	0	1	0	1.24
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.09

Played two games.

Jaromir Jagr – RW, Rytiri Kladno, Czech.1

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	1	0	3	3	3	1	1	69.37
Change from last week	–	–	–	–	–	–	–	–

Still technically a Flame! Three assists this week, might be an NHLer sometime soon.

D’Artagnan Joly – RW, Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	40	16	31	47	24	38	20	24.71
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0.41

Joly barely played one period when (according to google-translated articles and tweets) a crosscheck sent him to the hospital. The injury, undisclosed, is not as bad as feared and the Drakkar are expecting him back on the ice soon-ish. Also check out this interesting article on Joly, but run it through a translator first.

Pavel Karnaukhov – LW/C, CSKA Moscow, KHL/Zvezda, VHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
KHL current	11	0	2	2	2	1	1	11.03
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
VHL current	35	12	18	30	18	24	14	26.71
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.62

Karnaukhov’s slump enters week four, as he only has one point in his last seven VHL games.

Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	42	13	14	27	17	21	14	24.78
Change from last week	2	1	1	2	2	2	2	0.69

Klimchuk had a rough few weeks, but is back in business with two points this week.

Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	37	2	20	22	14	15	11	22.92
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Kylington did not play this week, as he was in Sweden on personal leave. He left during the AHL all-star weekend, but has returned and did practice yesterday.

Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	32	3	1	4	3	3	2	5.95
Change from last week	3	1	0	1	0	1	0	1.03

Lindstrom potted a powerplay goal this week, his first point in about two months.

Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat – X

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	37	5	9	14	12	8	6	14.57
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.41

Still in the NHL. Probably in the Freddie Hamilton Memorial Role.

Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	31	16	19	35	20	26	16	43.51
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Now back in the AHL. An honest review of his NHL time was that he’s still not just quite ready yet. It’s probably for the best given that he wasn’t going to get much more than 10 minutes a night. Some might be disappointed, but it’s really the best for all involved.

Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Sioux Falls Stampede, USHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	38	8	10	18	15	16	13	10.88
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.6

No points for Mattson this week.

Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	14	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Injured.

Matthew Phillips – C/RW, Victoria Royals, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	54	38	47	85	34	63	27	37.43
Change from last week	3	3	2	5	2	4	2	0.13

Phillips had a repeat performance, potting three goals and two assists in three games just as he did last week. He also scored a shorthanded goal, just like he did the week before:

Also technically from over a week ago, but the clip only came up after the prospect update was published. Here’s some sweet hand-eye coordination from Phillips:

Emile Poirier – LW/RW, Stockton Heat

Current	41	4	13	17	10	15	9	15.98
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	1	1	1	0.18

Poirier broke a long goal scoring drought, scoring his first goal since December.

Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	20	4	2	6	3	4	1	11.56
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.29

After his four-goal outburst, Pollock recorded zero points over the weekend.

Daniel Pribyl – RW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Still injured.

Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	36	1	10	11	10	7	6	18.54

Ditto.

Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL

Up to date	48	31	27	58	27	49	23	29.73
Change from last week	3	1	1	2	1	2	1	-0.88

Just a goal and an assist for Ruzicka this week. Here are both of them:

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	40	12	8	20	13	16	12	19.27
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.99

Nothing this week for Shinkaruk.

Hunter Smith – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	35	9	8	17	13	17	13	11.15
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Out, injured.

Filip Sveningsson – LW, HV71, Superelit/SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
SHL current	11	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Superelit current	28	13	21	34	20	26	16	19.91
Change from last week	2	1	4	5	3	4	3	1.62

An impressive five points for Sveningsson in HV71’s two games this week.

Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	40	13	8	21	7	15	6	18.51
Change from last week	3	2	0	2	1	2	1	0.4

Eetu added two more goals this week. He’s top five in scoring and PPG for U20 SM-Liiga players, which is pretty good.

Juuso Valimaki – D, Tri-City Americans, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	22	5	17	22	11	14	6	23.78
Change from last week	3	0	2	2	2	0	0	-1.25

Should return this week from injury.

Tyler Wotherspoon – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	42	4	22	26	13	14	9	23.86
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.19

A rare point-less week from Wotherspoon.

Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	29	1658.85	0.915	869
Change from last week	1	21.18	-0.002	11

Gillies’ struggles continue, as he was yanked from his one game this week after allowing three goals on 11 shots. I’m chalking this up to the Heat being depleted in addition to him being the only goalie in Stockton for a good long month.

Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks/Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	22	1284	0.892	581
Change from last week	1	65	0	38

Back in Kansas with the goalie dust hopefully settling. He allowed four goals on 38 shots, good for a .895 SV%.

Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat/Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
ECHL Current	22	1213	0.908	655
Change from last week	1	60	0.002	24
AHL Current	4	176.5	0.898	88
Change from last week	2	98.82	0.054	43

Parsons, after stopping 23 of 24 (0.958) in the ECHL, started his second AHL game and had a great run of it. He was lit up in his first AHL game, but stopped 32 of 34 (0.941) this time around, after stopping nine shots in relieving Gillies the game prior.

Nick Schneider – G, Calgary Hitmen, WHL

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	46	2584	0.883	1381
Change from last week	2	117	0.001	73

A pretty good week for Schneider, who stopped 30 of 33 (0.909) and 36 of 40 (0.900) in a weekend series against Vancouver.
