FlamesNation Prospect Update: Klimchuk, Mangiapane return

Something about the Calgary Flames and guys whose names start with the letter “M.”

Zach Fischer – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	7	0	1	1	1	1	1	3.28
Change from last week	–	–	–	–	–	–	–	–

Didn’t play at all last week. Unknown if it’s healthy scratch or injury.

Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	20	5	4	10	4	7	2	19.93
Change from last week	4	0	1	1	1	0	0	-2.49

Foo’s struggles have become more and more apparent over the last few weeks. With Andrew Mangiapane out until the latest game, Foo was nominally the team’s top winger and failed to produce. Maybe things will turn around, but he’s certainly running out of room, and single-point weeks aren’t going to move him up the recall list.

Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	20	7	2	9	2	9	2	17.93
Change from last week	4	2	0	2	0	2	0	+0.49

Two more powerplay goals for Gawdin this week, who is just feasting on opposing penalty kills. I don’t know if he necessarily has what it takes to be a future NHLer, but if he’s a fourth liner with special teams value, that’s pretty good for a free find.

Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	18	0	3	3	3	2	2	6.64
Change from last week	4	0	1	1	1	1	1	+0.95

Four games, one assist for Healey. He is one point away from matching his 2017-18 totals.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	26	11	11	22	14	17	11	19.71
Change from last week	3	0	1	1	1	0	0	-1.55

Just a secondary assist for Joly this week. Starting to look very shaky about ever getting an NHL contract.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date (KHL)	14	1	2	3	3	2	2	17.98
Change from last week	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	-3.68
Up to date (VHL)	7	3	1	4	4	4	4	17.81
Change from last week	–	–	–	–	–	–	–	–

Perhaps staying in the KHL for good? He hasn’t been to the VHL since international break.

Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	16	3	5	8	7	3	3	19.93
Change from last week	4	2	2	4	4	2	2	+6.65

Been looking superb since coming off the IR. Maybe he gets into gear and fights his way back into the prospect conversation.

Demetrious Koumontzis – LW, Arizona State University, NCAA (Independent)

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	16	1	7	8	3	8	3	14.8
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	1	1	1	0

Just an assist for Koumontzis this week.

Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat – X

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	18	7	7	14	8	10	8	31
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	0	1	0	-1.38

In Calgary! For how long? Who knows. His parting gift to Stockton was a goal.

Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	17	1	0	1	1	1	1	1.88
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.25

Back from injury. Still struggling, however.

Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat – X

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	18	2	4	6	4	4	2	13.28
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.66

Currently in Calgary, but hasn’t played yet.

Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	12	6	7	13	8	10	7	43.17
Change from last week	1	1	0	1	0	1	0	-0.3

Back from injury and has already potted a goal upon his return.

Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Michigan State, NCAA (Big 10)

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	5	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Finally got back into a game for Michigan State after a two-week absence. Was scratched for the second game, however. Unclear if it’s injury, but likely healthy.

Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	20	2	3	5	4	4	3	9.96
Change from last week	4	1	0	1	1	1	1	+2.49

Not much on-ice for AOM this week.

Mathias Emilio Pettersen – C/LW, Denver Pioneers, NCAA (NCHC)

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	12	5	9	14	5	8	3	42
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	0	1	0	-4.8

Powerplay goal for MEP this week.

This may be his final set of games before the Div 1A WJCs, which take place in the second week of December. Denver doesn’t play next weekend, and he’ll (presumably) be in transit before they return.

Matthew Phillips – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	17	4	3	7	5	5	4	16.41
Change from last week	4	1	1	2	1	2	1	+1.08

Chugging along at a half-point-per-game pace. Not bad for a bottom six rookie.

Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	16	0	4	4	3	2	2	9.96
Change from last week	3	0	1	1	1	1	1	+0.76

Just an assist for Pollock this week. Pushed out of the lineup when Mangiapane returned.

Martin Pospisil – C/LW, Sioux City Musketeers, USHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	17	10	21	31	16	23	10	41.87
Change from last week	1	0	1	1	0	1	0	-1.18

Played one game but missed the other two for Sioux City. There’s no given reason, but considering his recent NCAA fallout, it’s one of those things that make you go “hmmm.”

Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	25	3	5	8	6	6	5	21.1
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.83

No points for Rafikov this week.

Milos Roman – C, Vancouver Giants, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	24	12	11	23	10	19	6	23.73
Change from last week	2	2	1	3	1	2		+1.22

Another big week for Roman, who went over a point-per-game for the second week running. Slowly developing into the key piece for Vancouver.

Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	25	7	18	25	11	17	9	26.49
Change from last week	4	4	2	6	3	6	3	+2.53

A rough week for Ruzicka, who only picked up a powerplay assist in three games this week.

Kerby Rychel – F, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	20	9	6	15	12	11	9	29.89
Change from last week	4	2	3	5	5	3	3	+2.30

A huge week for Rychel, who was especially dominant at 5v5.

Filip Sveningsson – LW, IK Oskarshamn, Allsvenskan

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	21	8	9	17	7	12	6	46.16
Change from last week	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	-6.6

Sveningsson’s miniature reign of terror in the Allsvenskan may be over, at least temporarily. No points in his last four games.

Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	25	6	9	15	8	12	5	23.72
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.45

Three games, no points for the baby-faced assassin.

Rinat Valiev – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	16	0	3	3	3	2	2	7.47
Change from last week	4	0	3	3	3	2	2	+7.47

First three assists of the season for Valiev.

Dmitri Zavgorodniy – C/LW, Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	26	14	19	33	18	23	13	29.56
Change from last week	3	2	1	3	2	2	2	-0.82

Set such a high bar for himself that a point-per-game week results in his NHLe going down.

Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%
Up to date	14	632.46	0.852
Change from last week	2	+79.54	-0.003

Returned from injury to have a very Jon Gillies and anti-Jon Gillies week. The first part means that he returned and got pulled after allowing a flurry of goals. The second part means that he did the exact opposite when Nick Schneider got lit up.

Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%
Up to date	6	371	0.916
Change from last week	1	65	-0.002

Allowed five goals on 44 shots (17/20 = 0.850 and 22/24 = 0.917).

Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%
Up to date	3	146.58	0.831
Change from last week	0	0	0

Out with a UBI.

Nick Schneider – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%
ECHL Up to date	4	242.82	0.907
Change from last week	–	–	–
AHL Up to date	8	161.03	0.935
Change from last week	4	158.94	-0.028

Perhaps the Schneider-mania is disappearing just as quickly as it showed up. Three quick goals in less than three minutes against Tuscon and three goals on 14 shots in the first period against San Diego were major lowlights this week for Schneider. He did have a strong start (33/35 = 0.943) and stole a win in relief of Gillies.

In case you missed it:
