FlamesNation Prospect Update: New faces in new places
5 years ago
Players up, players down, players in, and players out. An exciting week for the Flames prospect pool all around.
In case you missed it:
It was a busy one.
- Here’s last week’s update.
- Your Hitmen report.
- Your Stockton report.
- Checking in on the budding 2015 draft class.
- Looking at which junior Flames could represent their countries at the WJC.
- We know one is already – Mathias Emilio Pettersen is headed to the Div 1A WJC, starting next week.
- Andrew Mangiapane is here!
- But Dillon Dube is gone.
- Morgan Klimchuk is gone, and Andrew Nielsen gets to carry on the Kent Nilsson-Joe Nieuwendyk-Jarome Iginla legacy.
Dillon Dube – F, Stockton Heat, AHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 2 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 59.78 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Not a bad start for Dube in the AHL. He’s currently playing on a WHL All Stars line with Glenn Gawdin and Matthew Phillips, a line which has already produced three goals in two games for the Heat.
Zach Fischer – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 9 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2.55 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.73 |
Back from his unexplained (likely injury-related) absence. Was on the ice for two goals for.
Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 23 | 8 | 5 | 14 | 8 | 11 | 6 | 24.26 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | +4.33 |
A massive week for Foo, who had struggled to put up points (much less 5v5 points) in recent weeks. Of course, Andrew Mangiapane’s timely recall helps him out, but he’s probably going to have to make the most of it to stick around with the Flames organization.
Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 23 | 7 | 4 | 11 | 3 | 11 | 3 | 19.06 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | +1.13 |
Another strong week for Gawdin, who picked up two assists for the Heat.
Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 20 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 9.96 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | +3.32 |
Also a massive week for Healey, who picked up his first professional goal and surpassed his 2017-18 points total in 30 fewer games.
D’Artagnan Joly – RW/C, Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 28 | 11 | 12 | 23 | 14 | 17 | 11 | 19.13 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.58 |
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) | 9 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 17.31 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -0.5 |
Back to the VHL! Scored a goal.
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 |
Farewell, Morgan. We hardly knew ye.
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 |
Didn’t play this week, as Arizona State had a bye 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 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
In Calgary.
Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 19 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1.68 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.20 |
Still having a rough go of it. Though his last few games have been better as he’s at least getting shots away at the net (seven since returning from injury), Lindstrom is still stuck on the fourth line for the time being until he starts producing again.
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 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Still in Calgary.
Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat – X
| 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 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Also now in Calgary. For good? We’ll see.
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 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Didn’t play this week. He’s only played once the past month, apparently all healthy scratches.
Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 22 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 10.87 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | +0.91 |
Another assist for AOM. With Stockton having been almost completely drained of their defensive talent, it’ll be interesting to see how AOM steps up to the plate as the de facto #1 defender.
Andrew Nielsen – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 8 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 14.95 |
| Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
The new carrier of the Nilsson lineage still has yet to suit up for Stockton. Or at all since Nov. 18, for that matter.
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 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
Didn’t play this week as Denver also had a bye week. Headed to the Div 1A WJC, which runs from Dec. 9-15 in Germany. He should be a leading scorer there, as he finished top of the charts last go around.
Matthew Phillips – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 20 | 5 | 4 | 9 | 6 | 7 | 6 | 18.88 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | +2.43 |
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 | 19 | 0 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 12.58 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | +2.62 |
Two assists for Pollock this week.
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 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
No games for Sioux City this week, so no ice time for Pospisil.
Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 26 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 20.29 |
| Change from last week | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.81 |
Just a game for Rafikov this week.
Milos Roman – C, Vancouver Giants, WHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 28 | 16 | 13 | 29 | 12 | 25 | 8 | 25.65 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 4 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 6 | 2 | +1.92 |
Third straight week where Roman has been able to contribute a point or more in every game he’s played. If he continues to heat up like this, he could be one worth paying close attention to, though consistency has always been a weak point for him.
Was also on the receiving end of a pretty nasty headshot this weekend, though he did return to score a goal.
Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 28 | 8 | 19 | 27 | 12 | 18 | 9 | 25.54 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | -0.95 |
Just two points for Ruzicka.
Kerby Rychel – F, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 23 | 11 | 8 | 19 | 15 | 13 | 10 | 32.92 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | +3.03 |
Another big week for Rychel, who could feasibly be in recall plans should Mangiapane or Lomberg not work out, or if Michael Frolik’s timetable for return is longer than expected.
Filip Sveningsson – LW, IK Oskarshamn, Allsvenskan
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 24 | 9 | 9 | 18 | 8 | 13 | 7 | 36.65 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -2.91 |
All the percentages are crashing down for Sveningsson, who has only picked up one point in his last seven games after maintaining a point per game pace for the first 17 games of the year.
Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 27 | 6 | 10 | 16 | 8 | 13 | 5 | 21.92 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -1.76 |
Just a primary, powerplay assist this week.
Rinat Valiev – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 19 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 6.29 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.18 |
Also bumped up to the first pairing. Tough test for Calgary’s newly acquired defensive prospect.
Dmitri Zavgorodniy – C/LW, Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 28 | 14 | 20 | 34 | 18 | 24 | 13 | 28.28 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -1.28 |
Just a mere assist for Big Z this week.
Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 16 | 803 | 0.856 |
| Change from last week | 2 | +90.72 | +0.004 |
Had a bad start against San Jose, allowing three on 18 shots (0.833%) but backed it up with a relief shutout effort against the Barracuda again to give Stockton a chance at the game.
Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks
| GP | TOI | SV% | |
| Up to date | 10 | 609 | 0.897 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 178 | -0.019 |
Four disastrous games for McDonald, who allowed three on 20 (0.850%), five on 24 (0.792%), and four on 37 (0.892%).
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 | 10 | 161.03 | 0.915 |
| Change from last week | 2 | 158.94 | -0.020 |
A good (0.931%) and an awful (0.643%) week for Schneider.
