The Calgary Flames had many prospects in game action this past week. Unfortunately, precious few of them racked up points or wins.
Let’s check in on the youngsters.
In case you missed it:
- Last week’s update
- It has yet to be officially announced, but Stockton’s gonna play in Calgary this season!
Jake Boltmann- D, Lincoln Stars, USHL / University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish, NCAA
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
USHL up to date | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |

Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | n/a |
Boltmann remains consistent on Notre Dame’s blueline: zero points, but he hasn’t been lit up yet either. For a true freshman, that’s not a bad way to start in the NCAA.
Lucas Feuk- LW, AIK, Allsvenskan/J20 Nationell / Kalix HC, HockeyEttan
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |

Feuk had a productive week. He had two goals in one game, including an overtime winner. But that was only win Kalix got this week in three outings.
Ryan Francis- C, Cape Breton Eagles/Saint John Sea Dogs, QMJHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 15 | 6 | 15 | 21 | 10 | 15 | 8 | 32.60 |
Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | n/a |
Good news: the QMJHL chatted with the Atlantic provinces and Nova Scotia and PEI are allowing games. Bad news: New Brunswick is still in rough shape COVID-wise, so they’re going to be delayed a bit. They may get games played in February, but the next game currently on Saint John’s schedule is Mar. 3.
Johannes Kinnvall- D, HV71, SHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 28 | 7 | 14 | 21 | 8 | 11 | 5 | 36.65 |
Change from last week | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -2.45 |
Kinnvall keeps hitting the scoresheet for HV71. He had a goal, even strength this time, in a busy week for his club. On a per-game basis, he remains one of the most productive offensive blueliners in the SHL.
Demetrios Koumontzis- LW, Arizona State University Sun Devils, NCAA
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 16 | 3 | 6 | 9 | 6 | 7 | 6 | 15.36 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -2.19 |
Koumontzis played twice and had no points. He’s quieted down offensively quite a bit.
Yan Kuznetsov- D, University of Connecticut Huskies, NCAA / Team Russia, WJC
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 6 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 16.11 |
Change from last week | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | n/a |
Kuznetsov had his first goal of the season (and third in his college career) this weekend. He maintains his 0.5 points-per-game pace from the Huskies blueline.
Mitchell Mattson- C, Michigan State University Spartans, NCAA
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 16 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 6.83 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.97 |
MSU’s fourth line centre, Mattson hasn’t hit the scoresheet in several weeks.
Ilya Nikolayev- C, Buran Voronezh, VHL / Loko Yaroslavl, MHL
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |

MHL up to date | 16 | 6 | 8 | 14 | 13 | 13 | 10 | 18.66 |
Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | n/a |
Buran had a quiet week, only playing once. Nikolayev didn’t get any points.
Josh Nodler- C, Michigan State University Spartans, NCAA
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 16 | 2 | 7 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 7 | 15.36 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -2.19 |
After a few productive weeks, Nodler was held off the scoresheet this past week. He’s settled in as a top six centre for the Spartans.
Jakob Pelletier- LW, Val-d’Or Foreurs, QMJHL / Team Canada, WJC
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 9 | 3 | 10 | 13 | 6 | 11 | 6 | 33.64 |
Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | n/a |
Pelletier missed Val-d’Or’s games this week as he was completing his quarantine period. The team’s next game is scheduled for Jan. 30.
Jeremie Poirier- D, Saint John Sea Dogs, QMJHL

As noted elsewhere, Saint John doesn’t have a game scheduled until Mar. 3 due to COVID challenges in New Brunswick.
Ilya Solovyov- D, Dynamo Minsk, KHL / Dinamo Molodechno, Belarus
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
KHL up to date | 35 | 1 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 11.27 |

Belarus up to date | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | n/a |
Change from last week | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | n/a |
Bad news, gang: Solovyov suffered an injury on Jan. 19 against HC Sochi and may be out for a little while.
Filip Sveningsson- LW, MODO Hockey, Allsvenskan
GP | G | A | P | 5v5 P | P1 | 5v5 P1 | NHLe | |
Up to date | 31 | 2 | 5 | 7 | 7 | 4 | 4 | 7.35 |
Change from last week | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | -1.63 |
Sveningsson (a) had no points in two games this week and (b) lost a prior point due to a stat correction. Neither are great signs for his NHL aspirations.
Daniil Chechelev- G, Russkie Vityazi Chekhov, MHL / HC Ryazan, VHL / HC Vityaz Podolsk, KHL
GP | TOI | SV% | |
MHL up to date | 14 | 808 | 0.932 |

VHL up to date | 20 | 1051 | 0.914 |
Change from last week | 3 | 176 | +0.004 |
Chechelev started all three of Ryazan’s games this past week. He allowed six goals across three games and nudged his save percentage up a tad. Unfortunately, Ryazan’s skaters scored just once and that run support wasn’t enough; Chechelev was tagged with three losses.
