Prospects don’t get that much airtime, pretty much only limited to streaming services. This week, the Rimouski Oceanic and Quebec Remparts had the opportunity to do a matinee battle live on Sportsnet. Thankfully for the Flames, their prospects came up big.

Dillon Dube – F, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	19	5	13	18	10	10	6	37.75
Change from last week	2	1	1	2	1	1	1	+0.24

The extended AHL look seems to be working well for Dube. He hasn’t yet hit a speed bump during his minors stint, and is generally looking more comfortable with every passing game.

Zach Fischer – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	27	3	5	8	6	6	5	6.8
Change from last week	–	–	–	–	–	–	–	–

Probably injured; there really isn’t any word out there but he hasn’t played in two weeks.

Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	45	12	10	22	12	18	9	19.48
Change from last week	2	1	1	2	1	2	1	+0.94

Foo has shown a bit more urgency in his game recently, which is good, but it all still feels too little, too late.

Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	41	10	11	21	9	19	8	20.41
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-1.05

Nothing going for Gawdin this week.

Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	34	1	6	7	6	3	3	8.2
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.25

Healthy scratched once.

D’Artagnan Joly – RW/C, Rimouski Oceanic

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	47	16	20	36	23	26	18	17.84
Change from last week	3	2	1	3	3	2	2	+0.37

D’Artagnan put on a show on national TV, scoring twice in under a minute with two beautiful shots against Quebec on Sportsnet. He’s had two three-point weeks in a row, so maybe he’s finally returning back to form for Rimouski.

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

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date (KHL)	29	3	6	9	8	8	7	20.46
Change from last week	2	0	2	2	1	2	1	+3.37
Up to date (VHL)	9	4	1	5	5	5	5	17.31
Change from last week	–	–	–	–	–	–	–	–

Two assists for Karnaukhov, including a shorthanded one. He’s been a pretty good middle sixer in the KHL this year.

Demetrious Koumontzis – LW, Arizona State University, NCAA (Independent)

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	30	2	12	14	7	12	6	13.81
Change from last week	2	1	1	2	2	2	2	+1.14

Finally broke his goalless drought, picking up his first since the opening weekend of NCAA hockey.

Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, BIK Karlskoga, Allsvenskan

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
SHL Up to date	32	1	3	4	3	3	2	4
Change from last week	1	0	1	1	1	1	1	+0.91
SWE-1 Up to date	3	0	2	2	1	1	1	32.58
Change from last week	2	0	2	2	1	1	1	+32.58

His switch to the Allsvenskan seems to be working out for him so far: two assists in two games this week. Lindstorm had a pretty solid offensive side to him in the U20 Superelit, so hopefully hopping back down a level can help him reclaim that.

Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	35	5	8	13	10	9	7	14.8
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	2	1	1	+0.31

An assist for Lomberg this week.

Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat – X

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	15	9	8	17	11	13	10	45.17
Change from last week	–	–	–	–	–	–	–	–

Back in the NHL, and with another point to his name.

Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Michigan State, NCAA (Big 10)

	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	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Played in one of MSU’s games this weekend.

Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	43	4	7	11	8	6	4	10.19
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	1	0	0	+0.47

A humble assist for AOM this week.

Andrew Nielsen – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	28	0	7	7	4	3	2	9.96
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	1	0	0	+0.76

Picked up an assist this week.

Mathias Emilio Pettersen – C/LW, Denver Pioneers, NCAA (NCHC)

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	25	6	16	22	10	14	6	31.68
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-2.75

Pettersen’s slump continues. Since the Div 1A WJC, he’s fallen seven NHLe points in just over a month’s time. Maybe it’s just freshmen nerves, but he hasn’t been looking at all like the same player he was earlier in the season.

Matthew Phillips – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	42	10	16	26	15	20	14	24.67
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	1	0	-1.23

Nothing for Phillips this week.

Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	34	2	9	11	7	7	4	12.89
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.81

Back in action after a brief absence. No points.

Martin Pospisil – C/LW, Sioux City Musketeers, USHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	32	12	30	42	22	33	16	30.31
Change from last week	2	0	2	2	1	1	1	-0.48

Just a powerplay marker for Pospisil this week.

Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	46	5	9	14	8	10	6	20.07
Change from last week	4	1	1	2	1	2	1	+1.67

Continues to rack up powerplay points, picking up a man advantage goal this week.

Milos Roman – C, Vancouver Giants, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	43	20	19	39	17	33	11	22.45
Change from last week	3	2	0	2	0	2	0	-0.46

Two goals for Roman this week.

Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sudbury Wolves, OHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	46	19	31	50	25	38	21	28.79
Change from last week	2	1	2	3	1	3	1	+0.5

His junior hockey renaissance continues in Sudbury, picking up three more points this week. His NHLe just with Sudbury is 31.30, having picked up 13 points in 11 games with the club.

Kerby Rychel – F, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	43	19	17	36	22	25	15	33.36
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	1	1	1	-0.66

Just an assist for Rychel this week.

Filip Sveningsson – LW, IK Oskarshamn, Allsvenskan

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	33	11	10	21	8	16	7	31.1
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-2.01

Hit a speed bump this week, going point-less in two games.

Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	47	10	18	28	12	17	7	22.24
Change from last week	2	1	0	1	1	1	1	-0.16

Scored a powerplay goal this week. Kind of his thing.

Rinat Valiev – D, Stockton Heat – X

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	34	1	10	11	5	5	3	12.89
Change from last week	–	–	–	–	–	–	–	–

In Calgary pending Travis Hamonic’s return. Not so sure he’ll play, as the Flames would only have one right-handed defenceman in their lineup if he does (barring a Valiev-Prout pairing, which sounds yikes), but we’ll see if he can crack the lineup.

Juuso Valimaki – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	4	1	2	3	3	1	1	29.89
Change from last week	2	1	1	2	2	1	1	+9.96

Picked up his second professional goal and an assist this week. If he keeps it up, I think he’ll be in Calgary before the trade deadline. Hard to keep him down, otherwise.

Dmitri Zavgorodniy – C/LW, Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	51	23	30	53	29	37	20	24.20
Change from last week	3	3	2	5	1	4	1	+0.91

Not to be overshadowed by teammate and fellow Flames prospect Joly, Zavgorodniy picked up two shorthanded goals in Saturday’s nationally broadcast 6-0 demolition of the Remparts. He had a great week overall, getting back to his usual production after a prolonged lull.

Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%
Up to date	28	1462	0.867
Change from last week	1	26	-0.001

Pulled after 26 minutes after allowing four goals on 17 shots. Unfortunately, this is the norm for him now.

Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%
Up to date	16	913	0.911
Change from last week	3	179	+0.006

Started all three of KC’s games this week, posting a shutout, a 0.906 performance, and a 0.929 performance. Pretty good stuff for a guy who likely is running out of space to get a second contract down.

Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%
Up to date	14	724	0.889
Change from last week	2	93	+0.003

Had a solid relief effort for Gillies, stopping 20 of 22 (0.909). His start went just about the same, stopping 28 of 31 (0.903).

Nick Schneider – G, Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%
ECHL Up to date	12	725	0.889
Change from last week	–	–	–
AHL Up to date	11	220.16	0.922
Change from last week	–	–	–

Didn’t play this week.
