FlamesNation Prospect Update: All-Stars and assists

6 years ago

To continue the alliterative trend, it’s awesomeness.

In case you missed it

Here’s the last update.
The call-up game was all over the place this past week, with Ryan Lomberg coming up to play his first NHL game, then going back down with Andrew Mangiapane and Marek Hrivik, and then coming back up again with Mangiapane.

Rasmus Andersson – D, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	36	4	21	25	15	13	9	26.76
Change from last week	2	0	2	2	1	2	1	0.69

Rasmus picked up two assists in two games this weekend, but that’s not even the main story. Andersson was at the AHL All-Star game, where he added some content to his highlight tape. Let’s start with the skills competition, so here’s a sweet shootout move:

And here’s him obliterating a hockey puck:

For the actual game itself, he recorded two goals and three assists:

The AHL All-Star Game is near the bottom of the importance scale, but it’s pretty promising to see a defender like Ras do what he does.

(Unrelated to the ASG, but here’s him chucking knuckles for the first time in his professional career. Kid can do everything!)

Austin Carroll – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	19	2	0	2	2	2	2	4.06
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.47

Just two games played for Carroll this week.

Dillon Dube – C/LW, Kelowna Rockets, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	31	21	25	46	24	33	16	35.29
Change from last week	1	0	1	1	1	0	0	-0.38

Dube only played in one of Kelowna’s three games this weekend for unexplained reasons (borderline sketchy), though he did record one assist and nine shots (!) in his one appearance.

Zach Fischer – RW, Spokane Chiefs, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	42	22	14	36	25	25	20	20.38
Change from last week	4	2	0	2	2	2	2	-0.9

Fischer only scored two goals in four games this week, a slow down given his body of work over the whole season, but one of those goals was pretty clever:

Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	39	12	12	24	12	21	10	23.72
Change from last week	2	3	2	5	2	4	1	3.98

I wrote similar words last week, but Foo has really begun to pick up the slack for the forward-depleted Heat. He picked up five points in two games this weekend, including a shorthanded goal. Here’s the other two goals:

Adam Fox – D, Harvard Crimson, ECAC

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	17	0	12	12	5	5	1	13.31
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.78

Harvard didn’t score a single goal this weekend, so it makes sense why Fox has no points. His struggles with Harvard this year mean that he’ll need 28 points to match his last season totals. He only has eight games left in the regular season before the ECAC hockey tournament, which Harvard probably won’t go far in, so he might have 10 more games left this season.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	50	40	50	90	47	67	34	42.80
Change from last week	3	3	1	4	1	3	1	-0.71

Gawdin has a pretty round and appeasing statline right now. Four points in three games for him this week.

Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	29	0	1	1	0	1	0	1.33
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.05

Just one game for Healey this past week.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	39	16	31	47	24	38	20	24.71
Change from last week	2	1	6	7	3	5	1	0.41

Perhaps you’ve heard already, but Joly tied a Baie-Comeau team record with a six-assist game against Charlottestown. It’s certainly amplifying his performances, but Joly has been sneaky good all year. Hopefully this is a dam-burst moment for him.

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	33	12	18	30	18	24	14	29.21
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.88

One game, no points for Karnaukhov in VHL play this week.

Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	40	12	13	25	15	19	12	24.09
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	1	1	1	-0.25

Just a goal for Klimchuk 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	2	0	3	3	2	3	2	2

Three assists for Kylington this week. He’s been a bit overshadowed by fellow Swede Andersson, but don’t forget about Oliver. He is currently doing better than Rasmus in the categories of points per game, primary points per game, estimated 5v5 points/60, and estimated 5v5 primary points/60.

Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	29	2	1	3	3	2	2	4.92
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.36

After missing two games last week, Lindstrom returned to the Skelleftea lineup for two games. Didn’t do much.

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

Lomberg appears to have been rewarded for consistent strong play at the AHL, and will remain in the NHL while there’s a spot open. Getting Zack Kassian tossed in your first NHL game is probably strong resume material.

Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat- X

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	31	16	19	35	20	26	16	43.51
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.45

Mangiapane is also sticking around in the NHL for the time being. He should be getting a few more minutes than he already gets, but I wouldn’t considered him graduated just yet. Depending on when Kris Versteeg comes back, Mangiapane could finish the season in the AHL.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	36	8	10	18	15	16	13	11.48
Change from last week	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.04

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

Didn’t play. Apparently has a shoulder injury, according to Stockton’s Finest.

Matthew Phillips – C/RW, Victoria Royals, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	51	35	45	80	32	59	25	37.30
Change from last week	3	3	2	5	1	5	1	0.14

Two more two-point games from Phillips this week? Yawn.

Emile Poirier – LW/RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	39	3	13	16	9	14	8	15.81
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	0	0	0	0.19

Poirier broke a long scoring drought, picking up an assist this weekend.

Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	18	4	2	6	3	4	1	12.85
Change from last week	2	4	0	0	2	4	1	8.03

Now this is something to look at. Pollock burned his former parent club (Dallas) by scoring four goals on their AHL team, including a hat trick. Pollock has had a rough go of things professionally, but if this is the start of something good, who’s going to complain?

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
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Ditto.

Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	45	30	26	56	26	47	22	30.61
Change from last week	3	4	2	6	3	6	3	1.32

Ruzicka’s recovered from a nosedive to become one of the Sting’s better players in recent weeks. His NHLe has bounced back into the 30s, which is generally a promising sign for prospects. He also crossed the 20 even strength goals plateau this week, and is sixth in that category across the whole OHL (three goals out of first, however).

Hunter Shinkaruk – F, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	38	12	8	20	13	16	12	20.28
Change from last week	2	0	2	2	1	1	1	1.01

Shinkaruk had two assists this week, and has generally been a quiet yet consistent producer for the Heat. Very curious to see where he is at the end of the season.

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	26	12	17	29	17	22	13	18.29
Change from last week	4	2	0	2	1	2	1	-1.84

Two goals for Sveningsson in Superelit top 10 play:

Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	37	11	8	19	6	13	5	18.11
Change from last week	3	0	2	2	0	0	0	0.48

Eetu has come back from the WJC break firing, boosting his NHLe by three points since returning:

Juuso Valimaki – D, Tri-City Americans, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	19	5	15	20	9	14	6	25.10
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Should return this week from injury.

Tyler Wotherspoon – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	40	4	22	26	13	14	9	25.05
Change from last week	2	0	3	3	0	1	0	1.72

Three assists in two games this week. Wotherspoon is playing his best pro hockey ever. Maybe he gets a shot somewhere.

Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	28	1658.85	0.917	858
Change from last week	2	118.90	-0.003	44

Gillies had a rough week, allowing two goals on 22 shots (0.909 SV%) in game one against the Texas Stars and allowing four on 22 (0.818) in game two. Being the only goalie in town probably doesn’t help, as he’s started 10 of the last 12 games. Since Eddie Lack was traded, the Heat seem to not want to use anyone besides Gillies, which is a minor problem for fatigue and such, given the league usually schedules a lot of back-to-backs. Nothing wrong with getting a starter’s workload, but this perhaps explains some of his recent struggles.

Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks/Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	21	1189	0.892	581
Change from last week	0	0	0	0

McDonald is currently in Stockton providing back-up for Gillies. He’s likely not going to be starting anytime soon.

Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat/Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
ECHL Current	21	1153	0.906	631
Change from last week	2	119	-0.001	64
AHL Current	2	77.68	0.844	45
Change from last week	0	0	0	0

Parsons is back in KC, mostly for playing time purposes. He wasn’t getting any ice time in Stockton, and McDonald lost the starting job to another ECHL goalie, so it makes sense to at least get one of the Flames’ prospect goalies ice time. Parsons stopped 24 of 29 (0.828 SV%) in his return, but put up a much better 34/35 (0.971 SV%) in his next game.

Nick Schneider – G, Calgary Hitmen, WHL

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	44	2467	0.882	1308
Change from last week	2	76	-0.003	41

Had a rough series against Victoria, getting pulled just over a period into the second game after allowing four goals on 19 shots.
