Our pals over in Russia have wrapped up their season. In a week, our friends in Sweden and Finland (and potentially, Adam Fox) will be finished, too. The week after, the CHL kids. Is hockey really coming to a close so soon (or not soon enough, depending on how interested you still are in NHL hockey?)?
In case you missed it
- Here’s the last update.
- Stockton’s Finest returns with his latest dispatch from the farm.
- Ryan looks at the emerging developmental gap.
Rasmus Andersson – D, Stockton Heat, AHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 47 | 7 | 28 | 35 | 22 | 20 | 14 | 28.7 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | +0.44 |
Andersson had a ho-hum week, picking up two assists in two games. Pretty standard fare by this point in the season.
Austin Carroll – RW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 28 | 5 | 2 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 9.64 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.74 |
Carroll did not record any points this week, the first time that’s happened in a month. Hopefully he gets back on the wagon.
Dillon Dube – C/LW, Kelowna Rockets, WHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 48 | 32 | 40 | 72 | 39 | 55 | 30 | 35.67 |
Change from last week | 4 | 0 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | -0.54 |
Five assists in four games for Dube. He’s pretty good!
Zach Fischer – RW, Spokane Chiefs, WHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 46 | 22 | 14 | 36 | 25 | 25 | 20 | 18.61 |
Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Still injured with a UBI. No timetable for a return.
Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 50 | 16 | 16 | 32 | 15 | 26 | 11 | 24.67 |
Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 0 | +1.39 |
Foo is quietly riding a six-game point streak, having picked up eight points in his last few contests. He’s looked much better as the season has gone on, have become a handy powerplay tool for the Heat and their best shot generator.
Adam Fox – D, Harvard Crimson, ECAC
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 25 | 3 | 17 | 20 | 6 | 9 | 2 | 15.09 |
Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Didn’t play this week. Will play next weekend in the ECAC tournament against Dartmouth, a best of three series. Dartmouth has taken Harvard to task during the regular season, so if that holds true, Fox watch could begin as early as the 10th.
Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Swift Current Broncos, WHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 65 | 55 | 67 | 122 | 62 | 94 | 48 | 44.63 |
Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 5 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 2 | +0.14 |
Gawdin was named the WHL player of the month for February, a month in which he picked up 30 points in 14 games. Pretty good.
Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 37 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3.12 |
Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +0.98 |
Played a game of hockey this week and picked up an assist. Then he was scratched the next game, for whatever reason.
Jaromir Jagr – RW, Rytiri Kladno, Czech.1
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 5 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 18.37 |
Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Our oldest prospect suffered a concussion and hasn’t played since.
D’Artagnan Joly – RW, Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 49 | 22 | 40 | 62 | 36 | 52 | 31 | 25.94 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 6 | -0.77 |
After an explosive three points per game week for D’Artagnan, he has calmed down to a mere point per game.
Also of interest:
Gabe Vilardi seemingly begins the wave of '99-born 2017 picks signing. #Flames in that category are D'Artagnan Joly and Adam Ruzicka.

Pavel Karnaukhov – LW/C, CSKA Moscow, KHL/Zvezda, VHL
Karnaukhov is still currently playing in the playoffs (I don’t track playoff stats) against Zauralye Kurgan. He’s played one game.
Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 49 | 18 | 16 | 34 | 21 | 28 | 18 | 26.74 |
Change from last week | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | +1.32 |
Someone definitely said something to Klimchuk while he was up in Calgary on call-up, ’cause he’s been playing lights out. Another three-point week for him.

GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 38 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 5.01 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.43 |
Just two games for ol’ Linus this week.
Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 40 | 5 | 11 | 16 | 14 | 9 | 8 | 15.42 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.8 |
Two games for Lomberg this week, who is apparently not that enthusiastic to get back into the NHL.
Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 38 | 21 | 25 | 46 | 26 | 35 | 22 | 46.65 |
Change from last week | 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 | +1.69 |
He might be too good for the AHL.
Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Sioux Falls Stampede, USHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 44 | 9 | 11 | 20 | 15 | 18 | 13 | 10.44 |

Matthew Phillips – C/RW, Victoria Royals, WHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 65 | 44 | 60 | 104 | 46 | 77 | 36 | 38.05 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 0 | +0.3 |
Phillips became the highest single season scorer in Chilliwack Bruins/Victoria Royals franchise history, passing Mark Santorelli’s record of 101 points.
Emile Poirier – LW/RW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 50 | 4 | 17 | 21 | 13 | 18 | 11 | 16.19 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.67 |
Two games, no points for Poirier.
Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat, AHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Current | 29 | 6 | 3 | 9 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 11.96 |

Not in the playoffs on account of being injured.
Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL

Up to date | 59 | 34 | 36 | 70 | 36 | 59 | 31 | 29.19 |
Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -1.56 |
Odd statistical week for Ruzicka, who scored three points but also lost three points thanks to a stat correction. Big ups to the Ontario Hockey League for making me re-tally all of his data.
Hunter Shinkaruk – F, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 49 | 15 | 11 | 26 | 16 | 22 | 15 | 20.45 |

Parsons’ return from injury couldn’t have gone any worse. In his first game back, he allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) and was pulled 10 minutes into his second game after allowing three goals on nine shots. He’s had a rough rookie pro season, having suffered at least three injuries that required time off. The general goaltending instability in Calgary also means he couldn’t get properly acclimated in the ECHL, so I feel that’s also to blame. Not concerned about his performances right now.
Nick Schneider – G, Calgary Hitmen, WHL
GP | TOI | SV% | SA | |
Current | 57 | 3009 | 0.885 | 1741 |
Change from last week | 4 | 242 | 0 | 133 |
Played four games, allowing six goals against Swift Current (.823 SV%) and four against Edmonton (.862 SV%), but held Red Deer (.921 SV%) and Regina (.912 SV%) to just three goals each.
