Blackfish: Canucks Army Weekly Prospect Report – December 17th, 2015
8 years ago
The weather outside is frightful and so was the Canucks game on Tuesday.
But luckily Canucks prospects continue to make some waves around the hockey world. The NCAA is now on their winter break with many of their freshman and sophomore off to compete at the World Juniors. While the KHL and SHL enjoy extended breaks before Christmas.
Every week, former Canucks Army writer Josh used to gather all the prospect stats and compile them into a one article for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Jeremy was nice enough to take last weeks as I got my feet under me as the new Canucks Army contributor. But now the honour has been bequeathed upon me to carry on the important tradition of Blackfish. Expect the same detail of the stats and breakdown of the week as before, but more gifs. I make gifs regularly for Canucks prospects, so why not use them?
Without further ado, here is this week’s Blackfish!

- Carl Neill had a monster game on Saturday night putting up 1 goal and 3 assists. He also had 2 PIM, was +1 and had 5 SOG. Even though he was passed over in this first year of draft eligibility, it’s becoming quickly apparent that the Canucks may have found something with their recent 5th round pick.
- Not to be outdone, Dmitry Zhukenov had 5 points (1G-4A) over Chicoutimi’s three games this past weekend. He is currently on a 6 game point streak inching closer to being a point per game player. He also had 4 PIM and was +1 in the three games combined.
