Dillon Dube – F, Stockton Heat, AHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 11 | 2 | 9 | 11 | 6 | 6 | 3 | 39.85 |
Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
With three points in three games since returning, Dube does not appear to be content in the AHL. There’s not really a spot open right now in Calgary, but he seems like the de facto call-up should one open up.
Zach Fischer – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 26 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 7.06 |
Change from last week | 3 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 1 | +1.84 |
Fischer’s had his best week so far as a professional, picking up two big goals and an assist. He’s on the KC powerplay now, which is where he saw some success in the WHL. Perhaps that’s the key to unlocking him.
Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 37 | 10 | 9 | 19 | 10 | 15 | 7 | 20.46 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.64 |
Just an assist for Foo this week.
Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 33 | 8 | 8 | 16 | 6 | 15 | 5 | 19.32 |
Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | +2.05 |
Gawdin also had a fine week, picking up three points. He also picked up his first non-primary point of the year.

Up to date | 29 | 1 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 8.25 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.61 |
Two games and a scratch for Healey this week.
D’Artagnan Joly – RW/C, Rimouski Oceanic
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 39 | 12 | 16 | 28 | 17 | 21 | 13 | 16.72 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.35 |
Joly’s struggles seem to have followed him to his new team. He hasn’t scored since his debut weekend with Rimouski.
Pavel Karnaukhov – LW/C, CSKA Moscow, KHL/Zvezda, VHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date (KHL) | 24 | 3 | 4 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 19.23 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -2.75 |
Up to date (VHL) | 9 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 17.31 |
Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
No points for Karnaukhov this week.
Demetrious Koumontzis – LW, Arizona State University, NCAA (Independent)
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 26 | 1 | 10 | 11 | 4 | 9 | 3 | 12.52 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | +0.19 |
Koumontzis picked up his first assist since December even though Cornell swept ASU.
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 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Still in Calgary. I’ve been tempted to remove him from this list, but I know as soon as I do he’ll be reassigned to Stockton.
Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 29 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 331 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.24 |
Somehow only played 68 seconds in Skelleftea’s game against Tikra.
Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 27 | 5 | 5 | 10 | 8 | 8 | 6 | 14.76 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -0.18 |
Just another assist for Lomberg this week.
Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat – X
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 13 | 7 | 7 | 14 | 8 | 10 | 7 | 42.92 |
Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
First point, hopefully of many, for Mangiapane in the NHL.
Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Michigan State, NCAA (Big 10)
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Just played in one of two games this week for MSU.
Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 35 | 4 | 6 | 10 | 7 | 6 | 4 | 11.38 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.07 |
No points for AOM this week, although he did have an assist stat corrected to a goal.
Andrew Nielsen – D, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 20 | 0 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 9.96 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.11 |
Two games for Nielsen this week, no points.
Mathias Emilio Pettersen – C/LW, Denver Pioneers, NCAA (NCHC)
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 20 | 5 | 15 | 20 | 9 | 12 | 5 | 36 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Still rocking a point-per-game pace. That’s good for fifth among freshman scorers, but MEP is the youngest of the top five.
Matthew Phillips – RW, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 34 | 10 | 13 | 23 | 14 | 17 | 13 | 26.96 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -2.61 |
Just as he was heating up, Phillips hit a speed bump this week. Zero points.
Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 30 | 2 | 9 | 11 | 7 | 7 | 4 | 14.61 |
Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.51 |
Injured, I believe.
Martin Pospisil – C/LW, Sioux City Musketeers, USHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 25 | 11 | 26 | 37 | 20 | 29 | 14 | 33.98 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 1 | -4.69 |
Pospisil picked up three assists in his return to the USHL. That did some damage to his NHLe, unfortunately, but still a bit ridiculous that the kid can go a point-per-game and somehow fall below his own expectations.
Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 40 | 3 | 7 | 10 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 16.84 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | -0.98 |
Three games, no points for Rafikov.
Milos Roman – C, Vancouver Giants, WHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 34 | 18 | 16 | 34 | 15 | 29 | 10 | 24.76 |
Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | +0.77 |
Another stellar week for Roman, who picked up a goal and two assists in a big win against Kamloops.
Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sudbury Wolves, OHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 38 | 13 | 27 | 40 | 19 | 29 | 16 | 27.88 |
Change from last week | 3 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | -0.12 |
Ruzicka was traded to Sudbury in the Wolves’ push for the OHL title, netting a return of three picks. He’s brought his consistent, strong play there so far, picking up a point in every game he’s played for Sudbury.
Kerby Rychel – F, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 35 | 16 | 15 | 31 | 20 | 21 | 13 | 35.3 |
Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | -0.82 |
Another strong week for Rychel, who picked up a couple of points as per usual.
Filip Sveningsson – LW, IK Oskarshamn, Allsvenskan
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 27 | 9 | 10 | 19 | 8 | 14 | 7 | 34.39 |
Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | +0.56 |
In his return to Swedish hockey, Sveningsson picked up a powerplay assist in his first game.
Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 37 | 6 | 15 | 21 | 10 | 13 | 6 | 20.39 |
Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | -0.66 |
The season is far from over, but it appears that Tuulola has peaked at being a useful player once every three or four games. Not looking great.
Rinat Valiev – D, Stockton Heat
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 28 | 0 | 8 | 8 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 11.83 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +1.81 |
Two assists this week from Valiev.
Dmitri Zavgorodniy – C/LW, Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 42 | 19 | 26 | 45 | 25 | 31 | 17 | 24.95 |
Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | -0.73 |
Zavgorodniy hasn’t looked like himself in the last few weeks. He hasn’t really been the same dynamic playmaker he was earlier in the year. Don’t get me wrong, two assists is pretty nice, but it isn’t as promising as what he was doing earlier in the season.
Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat
GP | TOI | SV% | |
Up to date | 24 | 1253 | 0.867 |
Change from last week | 2 | 118 | +0.002 |
A Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for Gillies. He allowed six on 40 (0.850%) against San Diego, but followed it up by stopping 31 of 33 (0.939%) against San Jose.
Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks
GP | TOI | SV% | |
Up to date | 12 | 674 | 0.907 |

Neither he nor Schneider played this week. No word as to why.
Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat
GP | TOI | SV% | |
Up to date | 9 | 447 | 0.870 |
Change from last week | 1 | 63 | +0.005 |
Got shellacked against Ontario, stopping 41 of 46 shots in an OT win (0.891%).
Nick Schneider – G, Kansas City Mavericks

ECHL Up to date | 10 | 602 | 0.894 |

Didn’t play.
