FlamesNation Prospect Update: Goals, goals, goals
5 years ago
I hear it’s good when you score a lot of them.
In case you missed it:
- Here’s last week’s update.
- Here’s a recap of Stockton’s weekend…
- …and here it is in GIFs.
Yasin Ehliz – LW/RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Still hasn’t played since the season opener.
Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 39.85 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -19.93 |
Just an assist for Foo this week.
Glenn Gawdin – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 9.96 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -9.97 |
Two games, but nothing doing for Gawdin this week.
Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Suited up for both games this weekend.
D’Artagnan Joly – RW/C, Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 11 | 6 | 5 | 11 | 7 | 8 | 5 | 23.29 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -2.91 |
Joly had a pretty slow week.
Pavel Karnaukhov – LW/C, CSKA Moscow, KHL/Zvezda, VHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date (KHL) | 5 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 26.37 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +4.39 |
| Up to date (VHL) | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 20.77 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Karnaukhov seems to have finally established himself in the KHL after picking up another point this week. Hopefully he can keep up the production and actually become a player worth more than a quick glance.
Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 29.89 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | -9.96 |
Just an assist for Klimchuk this week.
Demetrious Koumontzis – LW, Arizona State University, NCAA (Independent)
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 22.2 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -7.4 |
Arizona State’s season got their first real test this year against #1 Ohio State. They lost twice in two very competitive games, but Koumontzis came away with an assist.
Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 29.89 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | +29.89 |
The gear for Stockton’s defence, Kylington was the catalyst for Stockton’s comeback against Ontario. If he can keep it up, it’s going to be hard to keep him out of the NHL.
Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 8 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.57 |
Lindstrom’s struggles have continued. He hasn’t taken a shot on goal in the last four games, and was accordingly demoted to the fourth line in the only game Skelleftea played this week.
Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 19.93 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | +19.93 |
Lomberg seems to have developed chemistry with Kerby Rychel, assisting on two of his goals this week. Given that it’s the last year of his contract, it would be imperative that Lomberg becomes something other than a bottom six AHL energy guy if he wants to stick around.
Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 19.93 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | +19.93 |
Picked up his first two points of the season. Still behind the curve compared to last year’s Mangiapane, which could make things difficult if he’s trying to come out as #1 on the recall list.
Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Michigan State, NCAA (Big 10)
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Mattson made his long awaited NCAA debut, two years after he was drafted by the club. Didn’t do much.
Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Still on Stockton’s top pairing with Kylington. Doesn’t have the offensive skills, but has been decent so far.
Mathias Emilio Pettersen- C/LW, Denver Pioneers, NCAA (NCHC)
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 2 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 72 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Denver had an easy opening weekend against Air Force and Alabama Huntsville, but Pettersen made the most of it, introducing himself to the NCAA world with a three-point debut.
He was named the NCHC rookie of the week.
Matthew Phillips – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Had a goal, but it was waived off on review. Generally good.
Martin Pospisil – C/LW, Sioux City Musketeers, USHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 45.92 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Maintained his league-leading 2.0 PPG average in Sioux City’s one game this week. That’s tied with Jack Hughes, clear favourite for the #1 draft pick at the 2019 draft. Not saying they’re the same thing, but they’re definitely the same thing.
Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Scratched once, played once, didn’t make much of an impact.
Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 11 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 17.98 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | +17.98 |
Added his first few points of the season after a slow start derailed by injury.
Milos Roman – C, Vancouver Giants, WHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 10 | 5 | 4 | 9 | 5 | 7 | 3 | 22.29 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 4 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 | +4.60 |
Roman has been heating up, picking up four goals this past week (two powerplay, one extra attacker, one 5v5) after a very slow start to the season. He’s probably not going to keep up that torrid pace, but if it gets the rest of his game rolling, that’s nothing but good news for Flames fans.
Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 9 | 3 | 3 | 9 | 5 | 6 | 4 | 26.49 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
The third straight week Ruzicka has maintained a 1.0 PPG average. He struggled with consistency in his first two years, so this is certainly a welcome development to his game. However, you do wish he would be able to take things to higher levels as someone in their third OHL season.
Kerby Rychel – F, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 4 | 4 | 3 | 7 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 69.74 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 3 | 3 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 2 | +50.81 |
Rychel has generally been a tweener throughout his career, but he’s currently playing like he doesn’t want to remain in AHL exile for the rest of it. Given that he’s producing while no one else is, it’s kind of hard to not call him up should someone on the main roster go down. Maybe he’s actually something, but you can’t figure that out if you don’t try.
Filip Sveningsson – LW, IK Oskarshamn, Allsvenskan
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 9 | 6 | 3 | 9 | 4 | 8 | 4 | 54.30 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 4 | 2 | 6 | 3 | 6 | 3 | +29.86 |
Sveningsson exploded this week, picking up a hat trick and another goal in three games. The Allsvenskan isn’t the top Swedish men’s league, but it is still a men’s league and Sveningsson is currently tied for sixth in scoring. He’s first among U20 Allsvenskan players, too.
Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 12 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 15.44 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.03 |
I think part of Tuulola’s struggles recently have been bad puck luck. He only has one goal on 40 shots (!!!) this season, good for a shooting percentage of 2.5% despite averaging a little over three shots per game. Given that he averaged around 12% last season, he’s probably due for a goal explosion sometime in the near future.
Dmitri Zavgorodniy – C/LW, Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 11 | 7 | 12 | 19 | 11 | 12 | 7 | 40.22 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | -3.45 |
Zavgorodniy is currently second in QMJHL scoring and first in 5v5 scoring. At the pace he is scoring at, he will finish at just under 120 points when it’s all said and done. He only turned 18 in August.
Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 3 | 154.11 | 0.831 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 60.63 | +0.018 |
Gillies put up a not great performance against Ontario, going 25/29 (0.862 SV%), but it was enough for the win.
Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 2 | 28.53 | 0.767 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 58.27 | +0.017 |
Another rough one for Parsons, going 18/23 (0.782 SV%) against San Jose. That’s no good.
Nick Schneider – G, Kansas City Mavericks
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 1 | 60 | 0.952 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – |
To prove that the universe has a sense of humour, the current best goalie in the entire Flames organization is Nick Schneider. Do with that information what you will.
