FlamesNation Prospect Update: Jump for Jo(l)y
5 years ago
The fabulously named D’Artagnan rose from the depth of the doghouse back to the top of the Baie-Comeau depth chart. All in a tidy span of two weeks.
In case you missed it:
- Here’s last week’s update.
- Your Hitmen report.
- An update from Stockton.
- Andrew Mangiapane is out for a week with injury.
Zach Fischer – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 5 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5.49 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -6.89 |
Played in three games, but didn’t pick up any points.
Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat, AHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 13 | 4 | 3 | 7 | 3 | 6 | 3 | 21.46 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -3.9 |
Foo’s inconsistency thus far is almost certainly holding him back from any future NHL action. Obviously, there’s no space for him right now, but could anyone make a convincing argument for him as the second recall behind Mangiapane?
Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 13 | 4 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 18.39 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -3.35 |
Also no points for Gawdin.
Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 11 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3.62 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.37 |
Only played one game, healthy scratched for the other.
D’Artagnan Joly – RW/C, Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 21 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 13 | 16 | 11 | 22.18 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 | +2.77 |
After a rough two weeks, in which he was healthy scratched, publicly called out by his coach, and placed on fourth line duty, Joly rebounded this week to his 2017-18 self, picking up a boatload of primary points in an all around dominant weekend for the Drakkar. It’s a good start, but hopefully he can build consistency and reestablish himself as one of the QMJHL’s better players.
Pavel Karnaukhov – LW/C, CSKA Moscow, KHL/Zvezda, VHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date (KHL) | 8 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 24.72 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
| Up to date (VHL) | 7 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 17.81 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -0.89 |
Back in the VHL as the KHL is on international break. Scored a goal.
Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 9 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 13.28 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -3.8 |
Returned from injury, but didn’t make an impact on the scoresheet.
Demetrious Koumontzis – LW, Arizona State University, NCAA (Independent)
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 12 | 1 | 6 | 7 | 2 | 7 | 2 | 17.27 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -3.45 |
Another quiet week for Koumontzis.
Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 13 | 5 | 5 | 10 | 8 | 9 | 8 | 30.66 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | +5.3 |
A monster game for Kylington against Ontario, where he picked up two goals and an assist in the 5-1 victory. It’s a shame there’s no space in the NHL to see what he is.
Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 15 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2.13 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
International break.
Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 13 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 15.33 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +0.84 |
Picked up his second goal in as many weeks:
Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 11 | 5 | 7 | 12 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 43.47 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Injured.
Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Michigan State, NCAA (Big 10)
| 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 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Didn’t play in either of MSU’s games this weekend. There’s no injury report, but he has missed half of the Spartans’ games. Probably not a good sign.
Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 13 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 6.13 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.12 |
Not much on-ice for AOM this week.
Mathias Emilio Pettersen – C/LW, Denver Pioneers, NCAA (NCHC)
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 8 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 5 | 7 | 3 | 54 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -8 |
For the first time this season, MEP was held pointless in a hockey game. Bummer.
Matthew Phillips – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 10 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 7.97 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | +7.97 |
Picked up his first pro point and goal this weekend, and had another pretty good breakaway chance to get #3.
Martin Pospisil – C/LW, Sioux City Musketeers, USHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 15 | 8 | 18 | 26 | 14 | 18 | 8 | 39.8 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -4.35 |
Pospisil’s high flying start to the season was halted in its tracks at game 15, the first game of the year when he did not manage to score a single point. He’s still tied for the league lead in scoring with linemate Bobby Brink.
Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 10 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 7.97 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +2.99 |
Picked up another assist this week.
Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 20 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 16.48 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.87 |
Just a game for RR before the international break.
Milos Roman – C, Vancouver Giants, WHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 19 | 8 | 6 | 14 | 8 | 11 | 5 | 18.25 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -2.14 |
The Giants only scored two goals this weekend, and Roman was involved in neither of them.
Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 18 | 3 | 15 | 18 | 8 | 10 | 6 | 26.49 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
While it is positive that Ruzicka has managed to maintain a point-per-game pace throughout the season (especially when he was rightfully criticized for consistency since from before his draft year to as recently as last season), it’s not as positive that a lot of those points are a) powerplay points and b) secondary powerplay points. Although his shooting percentage is at an all time low (5.56%), it is concerning that he is unable to generate offence at any other game state.
Kerby Rychel – F, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 13 | 6 | 3 | 9 | 5 | 6 | 4 | 27.59 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -5.02 |
Nothing for Rychel this week. I know I said that opportunities may be running out for Spencer Foo above, but is anyone going to be able to step up to the recall plate besides Mangiapane?
Filip Sveningsson – LW, IK Oskarshamn, Allsvenskan
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 15 | 7 | 8 | 15 | 5 | 11 | 5 | 48.87 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
International break. Here’s a cool interview (google translated) about his full-time move to pro men’s hockey to tide you over.
Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 20 | 6 | 9 | 15 | 8 | 9 | 5 | 27.8 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
International break. In the long shot that anyone here speaks Finnish, I would love a translation of this video of Eetu playing Q&A with one of his linemates.
Rinat Valiev – D, Stockton Heat
| 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 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Played two games.
Dmitri Zavgorodniy – C/LW, Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 21 | 12 | 18 | 30 | 16 | 21 | 11 | 33.27 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | -1.05 |
A point-per-game week for Big Z. He’ll head off to represent Team Russia in their two-game bout against the best of the QMJHL this week.
Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 11 | 594.27 | 0.859 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 100 | +0.005 |
Had his undisputed best game of the year, holding Ontario to one goal on 22 shots (0.954%) but followed it up with an unfortunately all-too-familiar stinker when he let in four goals on 23 shots and was pulled for the third period. The man is an enigma.
Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 5 | 306 | 0.918 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 120 | +0.017 |
Two pretty solid games for McDonald, stopping 33/36 (0.917%) and 26/27 (0.962%) for KC this weekend.
Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 3 | 146.58 | 0.831 |
| Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Out with a UBI.
Nick Schneider – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 4 | 242.82 | 0.907 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – |
Played a period for the Heat. Stopped all five shots.
