FlamesNation Prospect Update: Klimchuk, Mangiapane return
5 years ago
Something about the Calgary Flames and guys whose names start with the letter “M.”
In case you missed it:
- Here’s last week’s update.
- Your Hitmen report.
- The inaugural Stockton Heat mailbag.
- Oliver Kylington and Ryan Lomberg were recalled.
- And Kylington got his season debut in!
Zach Fischer – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 7 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3.28 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Didn’t play at all last week. Unknown if it’s healthy scratch or injury.
Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat, AHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 20 | 5 | 4 | 10 | 4 | 7 | 2 | 19.93 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | -2.49 |
Foo’s struggles have become more and more apparent over the last few weeks. With Andrew Mangiapane out until the latest game, Foo was nominally the team’s top winger and failed to produce. Maybe things will turn around, but he’s certainly running out of room, and single-point weeks aren’t going to move him up the recall list.
Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 20 | 7 | 2 | 9 | 2 | 9 | 2 | 17.93 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | +0.49 |
Two more powerplay goals for Gawdin this week, who is just feasting on opposing penalty kills. I don’t know if he necessarily has what it takes to be a future NHLer, but if he’s a fourth liner with special teams value, that’s pretty good for a free find.
Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 18 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 6.64 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +0.95 |
Four games, one assist for Healey. He is one point away from matching his 2017-18 totals.
D’Artagnan Joly – RW/C, Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 26 | 11 | 11 | 22 | 14 | 17 | 11 | 19.71 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | -1.55 |
Just a secondary assist for Joly this week. Starting to look very shaky about ever getting an NHL contract.
Pavel Karnaukhov – LW/C, CSKA Moscow, KHL/Zvezda, VHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date (KHL) | 14 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 17.98 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -3.68 |
| Up to date (VHL) | 7 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 17.81 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Perhaps staying in the KHL for good? He hasn’t been to the VHL since international break.
Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 16 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 7 | 3 | 3 | 19.93 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | +6.65 |
Been looking superb since coming off the IR. Maybe he gets into gear and fights his way back into the prospect conversation.
Demetrious Koumontzis – LW, Arizona State University, NCAA (Independent)
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 16 | 1 | 7 | 8 | 3 | 8 | 3 | 14.8 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Just an assist for Koumontzis this week.
Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat – X
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 18 | 7 | 7 | 14 | 8 | 10 | 8 | 31 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -1.38 |
In Calgary! For how long? Who knows. His parting gift to Stockton was a goal.
Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 17 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1.88 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.25 |
Back from injury. Still struggling, however.
Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat – X
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 18 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 13.28 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.66 |
Currently in Calgary, but hasn’t played yet.
Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 12 | 6 | 7 | 13 | 8 | 10 | 7 | 43.17 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.3 |
Back from injury and has already potted a goal upon his return.
Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Michigan State, NCAA (Big 10)
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Finally got back into a game for Michigan State after a two-week absence. Was scratched for the second game, however. Unclear if it’s injury, but likely healthy.
Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 20 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 9.96 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +2.49 |
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 | 12 | 5 | 9 | 14 | 5 | 8 | 3 | 42 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -4.8 |
Powerplay goal for MEP this week.
This may be his final set of games before the Div 1A WJCs, which take place in the second week of December. Denver doesn’t play next weekend, and he’ll (presumably) be in transit before they return.
Matthew Phillips – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 17 | 4 | 3 | 7 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 16.41 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | +1.08 |
Chugging along at a half-point-per-game pace. Not bad for a bottom six rookie.
Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 16 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 9.96 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +0.76 |
Just an assist for Pollock this week. Pushed out of the lineup when Mangiapane returned.
Martin Pospisil – C/LW, Sioux City Musketeers, USHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 17 | 10 | 21 | 31 | 16 | 23 | 10 | 41.87 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -1.18 |
Played one game but missed the other two for Sioux City. There’s no given reason, but considering his recent NCAA fallout, it’s one of those things that make you go “hmmm.”
Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 25 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 21.1 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.83 |
No points for Rafikov this week.
Milos Roman – C, Vancouver Giants, WHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 24 | 12 | 11 | 23 | 10 | 19 | 6 | 23.73 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 2 | +1.22 |
Another big week for Roman, who went over a point-per-game for the second week running. Slowly developing into the key piece for Vancouver.
Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 25 | 7 | 18 | 25 | 11 | 17 | 9 | 26.49 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 4 | 2 | 6 | 3 | 6 | 3 | +2.53 |
A rough week for Ruzicka, who only picked up a powerplay assist in three games this week.
Kerby Rychel – F, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 20 | 9 | 6 | 15 | 12 | 11 | 9 | 29.89 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 | +2.30 |
A huge week for Rychel, who was especially dominant at 5v5.
Filip Sveningsson – LW, IK Oskarshamn, Allsvenskan
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 21 | 8 | 9 | 17 | 7 | 12 | 6 | 46.16 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -6.6 |
Sveningsson’s miniature reign of terror in the Allsvenskan may be over, at least temporarily. No points in his last four games.
Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 25 | 6 | 9 | 15 | 8 | 12 | 5 | 23.72 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.45 |
Three games, no points for the baby-faced assassin.
Rinat Valiev – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 16 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 7.47 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | +7.47 |
First three assists of the season for Valiev.
Dmitri Zavgorodniy – C/LW, Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 26 | 14 | 19 | 33 | 18 | 23 | 13 | 29.56 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | -0.82 |
Set such a high bar for himself that a point-per-game week results in his NHLe going down.
Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 14 | 632.46 | 0.852 |
| Change from last week | 2 | +79.54 | -0.003 |
Returned from injury to have a very Jon Gillies and anti-Jon Gillies week. The first part means that he returned and got pulled after allowing a flurry of goals. The second part means that he did the exact opposite when Nick Schneider got lit up.
Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 6 | 371 | 0.916 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 65 | -0.002 |
Allowed five goals on 44 shots (17/20 = 0.850 and 22/24 = 0.917).
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% | |
| ECHL Up to date | 4 | 242.82 | 0.907 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – |
| AHL Up to date | 8 | 161.03 | 0.935 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 158.94 | -0.028 |
Perhaps the Schneider-mania is disappearing just as quickly as it showed up. Three quick goals in less than three minutes against Tuscon and three goals on 14 shots in the first period against San Diego were major lowlights this week for Schneider. He did have a strong start (33/35 = 0.943) and stole a win in relief of Gillies.
