Blackfish: Canucks Army Weekly Prospect Report – March 31st, 2016

CANADIAN HOCKEY LEAGUE

• All the stats above are their playoff points – excluding Stewart, who didn’t make the playoffs.
• Dmitry Zhukenov played four playoff games this week – Same as last  two weeks – Shoot more kid! (be more like Carl Neill) – Chicoutimi & Cape Breton are tied at 2 games.
• All of Carl Neill’s goals have been on the PP. Supposedly he has been battling a lower body injury but hasn’t missed any games. Last night’s game went into double overtime, and although TOI is not tracked, there is believe he played 45+ minutes last night. Sherbrooke is down in the series three games to one.
• Tate Olson’s season is over as Prince George was swept by Seattle. I had suggested in the CHL playoff preview that PG might have a chance against Seattle but alas was wrong. The Thunderbirds are now 17-0-1 in their last 18 games.
• Kyle Pettit played three games this week – he had 1 goal, was +3 and had 4 SOG
• Guillaume Brisebois returned from injury and has appeared in all four games for AB Titan, who are currently down 3-1 to Saint John.
• Mackenze Stewart’s WHL season has been over for 10 days now – but he still hasn’t been reassigned to the ECHL or AHL – so my guess, is that his season is over. He finishes the season with 5 goals and 6 assists in 36 games with Tri-City.

• North Dakota defeated Northeastern 6-2 in round one of the Mid-West regionals, then defeated Michigan 5-2 to punch their ticket to Tampa Bay for the Frozen Four. Boeser had 1 goal and two assists against Northeastern but was held pointless against Michigan. Being held pointless on Saturday snapped his nine game point streak – he had 21 points (7-14-21) during that streak.
• Northeastern lost to North Dakota in the Mid-West regionals. Thus Adam Gaudette’s season is over and it’s a very safe assumption that Gaudette will return to Northeastern for his sophomore season next year.

EUROPE

• No updates on Rodin
• Tryamkin doing that NHL thing.
• Lukas Jasek played three playoff games for Trinec Junior team – he had four assists in a 11-3 Game 5 series deciding win versus Mountfield. Trinec U21 played  Plzen U21 in the third round – Trinec won that game 6-2, where Jasek had two assist. He had another two goals and two assists earlier today as Trinec defeated Viktovice.

AHL

• Ludwig Blomstrand was named the ECHL player of the week after posting 7 points (5-2-7) in 4 games – Since our last update on March 24th, Blomstrand had four goals and one assist. He also had 13 SOG and was +2
• Curtis Valk is up in Utica.
• Anton Cederholm had one assist this week – he was +2, with 1 SOG and 4 PIM
• Even McEneny was held pointless this week – he had 6 SOG, 2 PIM and was +2

• I missed it last week – but Clay Witt won another game on March 23rd! He allowed 2 goals on 32 shots and is currently on a personal two game winning streak.

Schedule

NCAA has the week off.
