Suddenly, it’s December. The holiday season approaches and, with it, the World Junior Championship tournament. A few Flames prospects could be going. Let’s dive in.

In case you missed it:

Feuk is settling into a fourth line role with AIK’s pro club. He was held off the scoresheet in two games this week.

Gawdin continues to be among Stockton’s most consistent offensive contributors. He had a point per game this past week and is scoring just shy of that pace through 20 games.

Kirkland continues to be a quietly productive player for the Heat. He’s a bit older than some of the other prospects, but he’s shown the ability to play in tons of different situations and contribute.

Arizona State returned to action after three weeks off. They took three of a possible four points from Vermont. Koumontzis played both games but didn’t register a point.

The bad news is Lindstrom seems to have settled into his role as Skelleftea’s fourth line center. The good news is he registered a secondary assist this week.

He projects primarily as an energy guy if he gets any NHL duty again, but Lomberg continues to campaign for a call-up by playing quite well offensively. He had a power play goal and an even strength goal this week.

Mattson was scratched for both of Michigan State’s games. (Yes, again. We haven’t had to change this blurb in weeks.)

Nielsen played in every game and didn’t hit the scoresheet. Granted, that’s not his calling card, but it’s not a great sign.

Nikolayev had a productive week as he pushed his production to just shy of a point per game. He had a multi-point game and a stat correction from a prior game. He has a decent shot of playing for Russia at the World Juniors.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Pelletier had another good week. He had goals in every game of the week and polished off the weekend with a four point game.
Pelletier is one of 17 forwards invited to Canada’s World Junior camp.
