FlamesNation Prospect Update: No bye week here

6 years ago

Here’s your hockey fix for today. Hopefully you can stretch it out until Saturday.

In case you missed it

Here’s the last update.
Ryan Lomberg came up…
…and then promptly went back down, along with Andrew Mangiapane and Marek Hrivik.
Here’s a recap of Stockton’s tough weekend.
Ryan offers his thoughts on the Flames’ slow development system.

Rasmus Andersson – D, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	31	4	18	22	13	11	8	27.35
Change from last week	3	0	1	1	0	1	0	-1.65

Until Mangiapane and Hrivik were demoted, Andersson was second in scoring on the Heat, and first in points per game. The kid is ridiculous.

Austin Carroll – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	15	2	0	2	2	2	2	5.14
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	1	1	1	2.18

Carroll hit the scoresheet again this week, after finally potting a goal last week. He’s not a world beater by any stretch of the imagination, but he really doesn’t deserve the 13th forward treatment he’s been getting (while guys like Luke Gazdic get ice time in Stockton).

Dillon Dube – C/LW, Kelowna Rockets, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	27	18	21	39	20	28	14	34.35
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Dube was actually given a well-earned Christmas vacation by the Rockets. He’ll return to action tomorrow.

Zach Fischer – RW, Spokane Chiefs, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	36	19	14	33	22	22	17	21.80
Change from last week	5	1	3	4	3	2	2	-0.71

Still a model of consistency for the Chiefs, adding four points in five games this week. I couldn’t find any readily available Fischer highlights, so enjoy this high quality interview Fischer gave. It is set in an empty locker room and he mumbles throughout. Points to whoever can transcribe it.

Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	34	8	8	16	7	14	6	18.14
Change from last week	3	1	0	1	0	1	0	-0.52

Just an empty netter this week.

Adam Fox – D, Harvard Crimson, ECAC

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	13	0	10	10	4	4	1	14.51
Change from last week	3	0	1	1	1	1	1	-2.46

Fox finally returned to college action, and was reportedly stellar, but only had one point to show for it. It was his first 5v5 primary point of the season, so good for him.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	43	35	46	81	44	61	31	44.79
Change from last week	2	3	3	6	5	3	2	1.29

Gawdin exploded this week just as his old linemates returned from WJC action. Six points in two games puts him back in third in WHL scoring. He’s also third and fifth in goals and assists, respectively.

Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	26	0	1	1	0	1	0	1.48
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.06

Didn’t play in two of Stockton’s games this week. Unknown why.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	33	14	21	35	19	30	18	21.74
Change from last week	2	1	3	4	2	2	1	1.24

He isn’t scoring in volumes, but Joly’s consistency and tendency to rack up primary points is very promising. Four points in two games this week.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
KHL current	11	0	2	2	2	1	1	11.03
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
VHL current	29	11	18	29	17	22	13	31.16
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-2.13

On a bit of a cold streak in the VHL, having gone point-less for two games in a row for the first time this year.

Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	35	11	13	24	14	18	11	26.43
Change from last week	3	1	0	1	0	1	0	-1.27

The shining star for the depleted Heat has been Klimchuk, who recorded another goal this week.

Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	32	2	16	18	11	11	8	21.68
Change from last week	3	0	1	1	1	1	1	-1.27

Kylington came back from the flu to record an assist this week.

Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	27	2	1	3	3	2	2	5.28
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.21

Lindstrom is finally back in action, but only played one game.

Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	33	4	7	11	10	7	6	12.
Change from last week	2	1	1	2	1	1	0	1.89

I think the reason why Lomberg got the call over guys like Morgan Klimchuk, Emile Poirier, Spencer Foo, et al. is because of recent form. He’s been on fire for the Heat (these puns are occasionally unavoidable), chipping in offensively and on special teams. His goal this week was a shorthanded one.

Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	29	14	19	33	19	24	15	43.85
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

The Heat have a game on Wednesday whereas the Flames are completely off until a late afternoon Friday practice. With Mangiapane sent down, he doesn’t get a bye week, but he does get a game in, probably back on the top line.

(If you’re wondering, it wasn’t a paper transaction. If they’re reassigned to the AHL club, they must actually report to the team.)

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	31	8	10	18	15	16	13	13.33
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	1	1	1	-0.13

Another goal for Mattson this week.

Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	14	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Unclear what’s going on and why he’s not playing.

Matthew Phillips – C/RW, Victoria Royals, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	45	30	38	68	30	48	23	35.93
Change from last week	2	0	3	3	2	3	2	-0.02

Lots of positive play from Phillips recently. Three points, all primary, and two at 5v5 this week.

Emile Poirier – LW/RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	34	3	12	15	9	14	8	17
Change from last week	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.65

Really wish Poirier would be given better billing than the third line.

Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	15	0	1	1	0	0	0	2.57
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.39

Played in two games this week.

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	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Didn’t play this week. Injured.

Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	39	20	22	42	16	33	12	26.49
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	0	0	0	-0.77

Really having a hard time out there. His offence has completely dried up since November. Just a noise point this week.

Hunter Shinkaruk – F, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	33	11	6	17	11	14	10	19.85
Change from last week	3	0	2	2	1	0	0	0.58

Racked up two assists for the Heat this week.

Hunter Smith – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	35	9	8	17	13	17	13	11.15
Change from last week	0	0	1	1	0	1	0	0.65

Didn’t play this week, but that didn’t prevent him from being credited with an assist. No given reason what’s happening with him.

Filip Sveningsson – LW, HV71, Superelit/SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
SHL current	11	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Superelit current	20	10	17	27	16	20	12	22.14
Change from last week	3	1	4	5	3	3	3	0.92

Superelit play kicked off again this week, and Sveningsson got back in form. He racked up five points in three games during the Top Ten group stage of Superelit.

Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	31	9	4	13	5	10	4	13.65
Change from last week	3	1	0	1	0	1	0	-1.46

Back in the lineup for HPK, but only one goal this week.

Juuso Valimaki – D, Tri-City Americans, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	19	5	15	20	9	14	6	25.10
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Injured, undisclosed.

Tyler Wotherspoon – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	35	4	18	22	12	13	9	24.22
Change from last week	3	0	2	2	2	1	1	0.13

Wotherspoon is scoring more often than most Heat forwards (ditto for Kylington and Andersson), begging the question: when does he get a look?

Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	23	1380.82	0.921	712
Change from last week	2	118.72	0.002	58

Gillies recorded a 28-save shutout this weekend. Pretty good.

Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	20	1129	0.891	562
Change from last week	1	60	-0.005	35

Allowed six goals on 35 shots.

Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
ECHL Current	19	1034	0.907	567
Change from last week	–	–	–	–
AHL Current	1	59.95	0.825	40
Change from last week	–	–	–	–

Parsons’ first game with the Heat couldn’t have gone any worse. The kid got shelled, allowing seven goals on 40 shots.

Nick Schneider – G, Calgary Hitmen, WHL

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	39	2199	0.885	1178
Change from last week	3	128	0	94

Schneider got yanked from the net twice this week. First after allowing five goals on 32 shots in two periods against the Regina Pats, and then allowing six goals on 22 shots in 28 minutes against the Moose Jaw Warriors. The Hitmen are depleted after the trade madness, and they weren’t that good to begin with, but it sucks to see Schneider be a part of the problem.
