FlamesNation Prospect Update: CHL season, careers ending
6 years ago
Only in the good way, of course! The Flames saw all of their CHL prospects end their regular seasons this past weekend with Glenn Gawdin, Nick Schneider, and Zach Fischer having fully graduated from the league. Juuso Valimaki, Dillon Dube, and Matthew Phillips have also all likely played their last regular season CHL games. Bittersweet.
In case you missed it
- Here’s the last update.
- Continuing on the prospect wrap-ups, standout defenceman Adam Fox has also finished his NCAA year with a crushing loss to Clarkson.
- Linus Lindstrom also saw his SHL season end, wrap-up here (Tuulola and Sveningsson coming soonish!).
- A peek at Stockton star Spencer Foo.
Rasmus Andersson – D, Stockton Heat, AHL – X
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 53 | 8 | 30 | 38 | 23 | 21 | 14 | 27.63 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.89 |
Just a powerplay assist this week. In Calgary for the time being. How long? Well let’s see.
Austin Carroll – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 34 | 5 | 2 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 7.93 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.77 |
No points for Carroll this week.
Dillon Dube – C/LW, Kelowna Rockets, WHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 53 | 38 | 46 | 84 | 48 | 65 | 39 | 37.69 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 4 | 3 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 6 | +1.79 |
Dube finished his season in style, scoring 12 points in his last five games, good enough for a 114 points over a full 72 games. Once again, he finished just ahead of Matthew Phillips in points-per-game for the season. He also won the last WHL player of the week award. He’s stupid good.
He will also play Valimaki and the Tri-City Americans in the first round of the WHL playoffs. The earliest we can see him or Valimaki in Stockton is March 25, and the latest is April 3.
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. Probably never returning.
Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 56 | 19 | 16 | 35 | 16 | 29 | 12 | 24.09 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | -0.63 |
Two goals for Foo this week. With Mangiapane out, he’s likely going to pick up the offensive burden for the Heat. He’s been hot as of late, so maybe he can carry the team into the playoffs.
Adam Fox – D, Harvard Crimson, ECAC
Will he sign? Will he go back to college? Let’s see.
Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Swift Current Broncos, WHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 67 | 56 | 69 | 125 | 63 | 95 | 48 | 44.37 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.51 |
Gawdin had the flu all week, but returned to pick up a powerplay assist to finish with 125 points on the year. The Broncos will play the Memorial Cup hosting Regina Pats. Should the Broncos flame out, he can join the Heat as early as March 28 or April 2.
Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 40 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2.89 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.07 |
Played a game of hockey.
D’Artagnan Joly – RW, Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 55 | 23 | 45 | 68 | 40 | 56 | 35 | 25.35 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | -0.67 |
Joly picked up two assists in the final stretch of the season. Because 16 of the 18 QMJHL teams make the playoffs, and also because the Drakkar aren’t that good (13th in the league, eight games below .500), they will likely get smoked by the Halifax Mooseheads. Joly does not have an ELC yet, but he can play in Stockton on an ATO. The earliest that can happen is the March 28, and the latest will be April 3.
Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 55 | 18 | 18 | 36 | 22 | 29 | 19 | 25.23 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.45 |
A rare quiet week for Klimchuk.
Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 52 | 4 | 26 | 30 | 20 | 20 | 14 | 22.23 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.58 |
One goal, and one heck of a celebration for Kylington:
Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL
Skelleftea’s playoffs are off to a start, but Lindstrom has yet to hit the scoresheet with just one game played.
Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 46 | 7 | 11 | 18 | 15 | 11 | 9 | 15.08 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.05 |
Nothing doing for Lomberg this week.
Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 39 | 21 | 25 | 46 | 26 | 35 | 22 | 45.46 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.81 |
Season shut down after shoulder surgery.
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 |
| Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Abducted by aliens.
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 |
Ditto.
Matthew Phillips – C/RW, Victoria Royals, WHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 71 | 48 | 64 | 112 | 49 | 83 | 37 | 37.51 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.74 |
Another stellar season for Phillips. The Royals will have a Ferry Series with the Vancouver Giants in the playoffs, which will be very close. Again, the earliest he can join Stockton is March 29, and the latest is April 3.
Emile Poirier – LW/RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 56 | 4 | 17 | 21 | 13 | 18 | 11 | 14.45 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.82 |
No points for Poirier again. Not really working out as a third liner in the AHL.
Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat, AHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 35 | 7 | 6 | 13 | 8 | 11 | 7 | 14.31 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.14 |
Another point for Pollock this week. Shaping up to be an alright contributor. Maybe he has a Klimchuk-esque breakout next season? Who knows.
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.
Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 63 | 36 | 36 | 72 | 38 | 61 | 33 | 28.11 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -0.52 |
Just a goal this week for Ruzicka. Sarnia will play Windsor in the first round. Like other prospects, Ruzicka (also not on an ELC) can join Stockton for March 29 at the earliest or April 3 at the latest.
Hunter Shinkaruk – F, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 55 | 16 | 12 | 28 | 17 | 24 | 16 | 19.62 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.39 |
One goal this week for Shinkaruk.
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 |
Smith is recovering from an upper body injury. He hasn’t played since Jan. 6.
Filip Sveningsson – LW, HV71, Superelit/SHL
Sveningsson has two goals and an assist in two games of the Superelit playoffs.
Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga
Tuulola has a goal in four games for HPK’s U20 team’s playoffs.
Juuso Valimaki – D, Tri-City Americans, WHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 43 | 14 | 31 | 45 | 26 | 31 | 20 | 24.89 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 1 | 6 | 7 | 3 | 5 | 3 | +1.72 |
Valimaki finished his season with 12 points in eight games. That’s pretty darn good for a guy who struggled (injury-related) to score all season long.
Tyler Wotherspoon – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 56 | 7 | 27 | 34 | 17 | 18 | 10 | 23.4 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.15 |
Wotherspoon missed his first game all season for an undisclosed reason.
Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | SA | |
| Current | 34 | 1658.85 | 0.915 | 869 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Gillies is back in the Stockton starter net after a long absence. He posted a .910 across all three games back, a stretch which included games where he stopped 24/26 (0.923), 27/30 (0.900), and a 20/22 (0.909).
Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks/Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | SA | |
| ECHL Current | 24 | 1358 | 0.892 | 619 |
| Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| AHL Current | 4 | 224.35 | 0.875 | 104 |
| Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Injured.
Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat/Kansas City Mavericks
| GP | TOI | SV% | SA | |
| ECHL Current | 23 | 1273 | 0.905 | 686 |
| Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| AHL Current | 7 | 300.98 | 0.856 | 153 |

Was reassigned to Kansas again this week, but has yet to play.
Nick Schneider – G, Calgary Hitmen, WHL/Stockton Heat AHL
| GP | TOI | SV% | SA | |
| Current | 59 | 3009 | 0.885 | 1803 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 120.32 | 0 | 62 |
Schneider finished his season as the most played goalie in the WHL, finishing first in minutes and tied for first in games played. He’ll have a reduced workload in Stockton, where he’ll be backing up Gillies (until McDonald comes back, presumably).
