6 years ago

In case you missed it

- Exploring the possibility Adam Fox goes to the World Championship
- The final report from Stockton
Rasmus Andersson – D, Stockton Heat, AHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 56 | 9 | 30 | 39 | 24 | 22 | 15 | 26.84 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -0.79 |
Just one goal in Andersson’s return to the AHL. Hopefully his last, in a good way.
Austin Carroll – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 42 | 5 | 2 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 6.42 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.5 |
Returned to the lineup with Hunter Shinkaruk and Morgan Klimchuk absent. Didn’t do that much.
Dillon Dube – C/LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 6 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 25.69 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
It is extremely promising to see how Dube has seamlessly slid into the Heat’s top six and how productive he was fresh off a WHL playoff series. Small sample size and all, but wow.
Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 62 | 20 | 19 | 39 | 16 | 33 | 12 | 24.24 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | +0.07 |
Foo is also back in town to try and save the season. Perhaps he carries the good vibes from his two goals down to California.
Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Swift Current Broncos, WHL
Gawdin and the Broncos are off to the third round of the WHL playoffs, having defeated the mighty Moose Jaw Warriors in a down to the wire series. Gawdin has picked up 20 points through 14 games, including four in last night’s decisive 6-0 victory. He will go onto face the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the third round of the WHL playoffs.
Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 50 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 3.08 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +0.62 |
Got the assist on the final Stockton goal of the year, his fourth of the season.
D’Artagnan Joly – RW, Stockton Heat, AHL
Didn’t play at all! For comparison, his QMJHL teammate but AHL rival (San Jose Barracuda, who are going to the playoffs instead of Stockton) Ivan Chekhovich put up nine points in six games on a team that finished next to last in goals for all season. Perhaps they had something secret stashed in Baie-Comeau.
Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 62 | 19 | 21 | 40 | 23 | 31 | 19 | 24.86 |
| Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Klimchuk was apparently injured for the last few games of the year. Bummer.
Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 62 | 7 | 28 | 35 | 23 | 24 | 17 | 21.76 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | +0.2 |
Kylington’s strong finish to the season means that he finished around Andersson’s totals in the categories of 5v5 points per game, primary points per game, and 5v5 primary points per game. That’s insanely good, especially given that it is presumed Andersson is making the jump next season. Perhaps the Flames could create a stellar third pairing of homegrown talent.
Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL
Skelleftea has made the SHL finals, partly thanks to Lindstrom and his four assists. They’ll face Vaxjo in a best-of-seven, starting today.
Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 57 | 13 | 15 | 28 | 20 | 20 | 13 | 18.93 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 | +1.8 |
Lomberg finished the season strong, picking up seven points in his last six games. Potential dark horse for a guy making the jump next season?
Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 39 | 21 | 25 | 46 | 26 | 35 | 22 | 45.46 |
| Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Season shut down after shoulder surgery.
Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Sioux Falls Stampede, USHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 53 | 9 | 12 | 21 | 16 | 19 | 14 | 9.1 |
| Change from last week | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.74 |
Played in four games last week, but was held off the scoresheet.
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 |
Probably not back next season.
Matthew Phillips – C/RW, Victoria Royals, WHL
Phillips was swept at the hands of Juuso Valimaki and the mighty Tri-City Americans. Phillips picked up three assists in the proceedings, a tamer output than his 16 points in the series before.
Emile Poirier – LW/RW, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 65 | 7 | 24 | 31 | 21 | 21 | 13 | 18.38 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 1 | +2.22 |
An explosive finish for Poirier, whose scoring was scant before the final two weeks of the season. Has he played himself back into the Flames’ plans?
Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat, AHL
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 46 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 10 | 15 | 7 | 16.76 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.27 |
Just an assist for Pollock this week. Really good season for him, all things considered.
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 |
Spent the whole season on IR. Probably won’t see him again, which is a shame. He was once the Flames’ #1 RW prospect.
Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL
Sarnia’s postseason run has come to an end at the hands of the Kitchener Rangers, losing 4-2 in the second round. Ruzicka has been underwhelming this post-season, having picked up only three assists in 12 games.
Hunter Shinkaruk – F, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Up to date | 63 | 17 | 15 | 32 | 19 | 26 | 17 | 19.58 |
| Change from last week | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Shinkaruk didn’t suit up for any of the final three Stockton Heat games, unknown why. If it’s a healthy scratch, it’s probably not good.
Juuso Valimaki – D, Tri-City Americans, WHL
Has been injured. Hopefully, he’ll return in time for a powerhouse matchup between Tri-City and Everett. Five points in six games.
Tyler Wotherspoon – D, Stockton Heat
| GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
| Current | 67 | 7 | 30 | 37 | 18 | 19 | 10 | 22.28 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.46 |
Just an assist for Wotherspoon this week.
Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat
| GP | TOI | SV% | SA | |
| Current | 39 | 2230.63 | .917 | 1130 |
| Change from last week | 3 | 178.6 | +.001 | 94 |
The only Flames goalie to play this week. Gillies came up big in Stockton’s desperate drive for the playoffs, posting a .917, .931, and a .933 in the final three games. He might have played himself into a roster spot next season.
And that’s a wrap! Thank you for tuning in for the entire season. Prospect wrap-ups will follow shortly.
