FlamesNation prospect update: Eetu, brute?

6 years ago

According to a poorly translated tweet from the Finnish Liiga, it appears that our favourite philosopher Eetu Tuulola Dennis Wideman’d a linesman sometime yesterday. Hence, the title of this post (thank Bill for that one).

Hell, this version of the prospect update is packed with violence. Send the kids to bed early.

In case you missed it

Here’s last week’s update.
Looking at how Kris Versteeg’s injury could present an opportunity for Andrew Mangiapane.

Rasmus Andersson – D, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	17	2	10	12	6	5	5	27.2
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	1	1	1	-1.06

Another assist for Andersson this week. Nice to know at least one Flames RHD is having a good time.

Austin Carroll – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	6	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Finally got a shot and filled in for the departed Garnet Hathaway.

Dillon Dube – C/LW, Kelowna Rockets, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	25	16	20	36	19	26	14	34.24
Change from last week	3	2	5	7	3	4	1	2.89

Dube might be the best junior talent the Flames have, which is a pretty bold yet completely dependable statement. The kid went off this week, adding five points for Kelowna. You’ve probably seen this goal already:

It’s amazing. Here’s another one, fewer dangles, but an equally slick shot:

Even when he doesn’t score, he makes moves:

Legitimate. He’s scored 10 points in his last five games, by the way.

Zach Fischer – RW, Spokane Chiefs, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	20	11	7	18	12	12	10	21.40
Change from last week	3	2	0	2	1	2	1	-2

Goal highlights are hard to find for Fischer, but you can always find highlights of him doing his second favourite thing: fighting.

Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	19	1	6	7	4	6	3	14.2
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	1	1	1	1.14

Another assist for Foo this week, who continues to be snakebitten. Among all forwards who have shot 40 times or more, Foo has the second worst SH% at 2.44. I say it every week, but it’s going to reverse one day.

Adam Fox – D, Harvard Crimson, ECAC

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	10	0	9	9	3	3	0	16.97
Change from last week	2	0	2	2	1	1	0	0.47

There’s the Adam Fox we know: two assists in two games for the Harvard defenceman.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	27	23	30	53	29	43	21	46.68
Change from last week	3	4	1	5	2	6	2	-0.88

With another four goals this week, Gawdin is six points away from tying his previous career high, which was set in 52 games.

Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	14	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Played a game of hockey.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	19	9	10	19	10	18	10	20.50
Change from last week	3	1	2	3	1	3	1	0

Joly had a pretty good week, scoring a goal and setting up two shorthanded goals for the Drakkar.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
KHL current	8	0	2	2	2	1	1	15.17
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
VHL current	19	8	12	20	12	15	8	32.80
Change from last week	2	1	2	3	0	2	0	-2.03

He’s still yoyoing between the KHL and VHL. Three points in two games for Zvezda this week.

Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	20	9	5	14	9	12	9	26.98
Change from last week	3	1	0	1	1	1	1	-0.85

Another week, another goal for Morgan Klimchuk. He’s been consistently putting pucks in the net recently.

Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	20	1	8	9	6	4	4	17.34
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	0	0	0	0.21

A noise point for Kylington this week, but a point’s a point.

Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	24	2	1	3	3	2	2	5.95
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	1	0	0	1.63

Notched an assist this week. Lindstrom is also likely to go to Sweden’s camp for the WJC. Being a third line centre in a men’s league as a teenager is a pretty tough resume to argue against.

Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	19	2	2	4	4	3	3	8.11
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	1	1	1	1.31

Lomberg was an assist shy of the Gordie Howe hat trick against Bakersfield. Here’s the fight…

… and here’s the goal.

Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	20	9	13	22	14	16	11	42.39
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	0	1	0	-2.57

Just a goal for Mangiapane this week. He’s slowed down considerably given his torrid start to the season.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	20	6	4	10	9	8	7	11.48
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.28

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	13	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

No points for this Mattsson, either.

Matthew Phillips – C/RW, Victoria Royals, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	31	21	26	47	19	34	13	36.05
Change from last week	4	1	0	1	1	1	1	-4.46

Like Mangiapane, Phillips is finding a bit of difficulty after a wild start to the season. Just a meagre goal this week in four games. It’s not for a lack of trying, as he’s had 23 shots in those four games, including nine against Swift Current.

Emile Poirier – LW/RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	19	2	9	11	7	8	4	22.31
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	0	1	0	-0.36

Poirier’s found a spot as a puck distributor, having consistently picked up an assist in the past three weeks.

Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	7	0	1	1	0	0	0	5.51
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	0	0	0	5.51

Congrats to Pollock, who picked up his first AHL point. He’s centering a line with Mangiapane and Foo, for some reason.

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	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.09

Two games played for Rafikov this week.

Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	29	17	18	35	13	31	9	29.69
Change from last week	3	0	1	1	1	1	1	-2.48

Also can’t keep up with a hot start. Just an assist this week.

Hunter Shinkaruk – F, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	18	5	2	7	2	6	2	14.99
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.87

No points for Shinkaruk this week.

Hunter Smith – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	21	6	5	11	11	11	11	12.02
Change from last week	3	2	1	3	3	3	3	1.82

Smith has gone from five points in a week to zero points in a week to three points in a week. Odd guy.

Filip Sveningsson – LW, HV71, Superelit/SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
SHL current	6	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Superelit current	15	8	12	20	12	15	8	21.87
Change from last week	1	1	0	1	0	1	0	-0.39

Sveningsson saw some SHL action (they have him listed at three minutes average TOI) and scored a goal in the Superelit this week. He’s a darkhorse for Sweden’s WJC squad, but I’m personally cheering for him. Kid is exciting.

Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	24	7	1	8	3	7	3	11.75
Change from last week	3	1	1	2	0	1	0	1.68

A goal and an assist this week for Eetu, who was also named to Finland’s WJC camp.

Also, from up above, it appears Tuulola Wideman’d a linesman and will get a call from Liiga’s discipline office.

Juuso Valimaki – D, Tri-City Americans, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	16	5	12	17	8	12	8	25.27
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Ditto for Valimaki, who is expected to captain that squad. He’s out from WHL action due to injury.

Tyler Wotherspoon – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	20	2	10	12	7	7	6	23.12
Change from last week	2	1	1	2	2	2	2	1.71

A goal and an assist for Wotherspoon this week. Has he earned an NHL look?

Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	12	715.87	0.921	369
Change from last week	1	60	0.003	28

Gillies came up big for Stockton in their weekend clash against Bakersfield, stopping 27 of 28 (0.964SV%). Here’s some good saves:

Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	8	426	0.875	192
Change from last week	1	60	0.002	25

If goaltending doesn’t work out for McDonald (it really isn’t), he could switch positions and become an enforcer.

I’m not sure why the audio sounds like it’s recorded in a basement, but a goalie brawl is always a lot of fun.

Tyler Parsons – G, Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	16	897	0.906	509
Change from last week	2	117	-0.003	57

Parsons had a rough week, stopping 50 of 57 (0.877) in two appearances.

David Rittich – G, Stockton Heat – X

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	6	359.7	0.931	188
Change from last week	0	0	0	0

In the NHL for the time being.

Nick Schneider – G, Calgary Hitmen, WHL

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	24	1418	0.889	738
Change from last week	2	123	0	63

Another good game/bad game week for Schneider. He started off rough by allowing four goals on 28 shots (0.857) but finished strong by stopping 32 of 35 (0.914).
