Joly was publicly called out by his coach for underwhelming performances and was a healthy scratch this week. He came back next game to score a goal, score a shootout winner, and get the first star nod. Not a bad response, but his production still leaves a little to be desired. Maybe it’s the spark that kicks off his season.

Back to the VHL for Karnaukhov, who looked like he was finally finding his groove at the KHL level. I don’t pay much attention to the Russian prospects, but I would be interested in knowing why he can’t stick in the KHL.

Healthy scratched this week. Perhaps it’s due to the back-to-back, but I feel the Heat are starting to lose faith in Klimchuk. He’s been one of their more reliable players during his pro tenure but he’s been consistently underwhelming this year. Not a good sign, but let’s see where this goes.

Koumontzis had himself a great weekend, picking up five assists (he also had one taken away, a stat correction from over two weeks ago, which is strange) as Arizona State demolished winless Omaha. He’s been an integral part of the ASU powerplay, picking up all five of his assists this week on the man advantage.

Picked up his first points in North American pro hockey on two assists. He’s been one of two defensive standouts for Stockton (the other being Kylington), so it’ll be intriguing to see how much he’ll improve over the course of the season.

An absolutely explosive week for Tuulola, who struggled to pick up goals despite putting up a volume of shots in the early goings. It appears his luck is finally balancing out.
His shooting percentage is still down 5% from last year, so perhaps there’s still more to come.

Technically a prospect! He’s 23 and one of the players acquired when the Flames traded away Brett Kulak. Unfortunately, I forgot about him last week. He’s been whatever.

A reminder: no, Alexis Lafreniere and Zavgorodniy do not play on the same line. The two are separated at 5v5, and are usually only ever on the ice at the same time during man advantage (PP and 6v5) situations.

A week to forget for Gillies. First, Stockton blew a 4-0 lead against San Jose, but he redeemed himself by stopping 12 of 14 shootout shots to get the win. His second game was disastrous. Put in again on the back-to-back against Bakersfield, he was lit up to the tune of eight goals in two periods.

The reason Gillies had to suit up in both games on the back-to-back was due to the uncertain health of Parsons. He was on the bench in the first game, but was out the next game for undisclosed reasons (the Heat PTO’d former pal Ryan Farragher). He took a pretty big hit in his last start, so that’s potentially why, but there’s no details so far.

It’s a weird state of affairs when Schneider and McDonald are the two best goalies in the Flames organization. Jokingly, but not at all jokingly at the same time.
