CANADIAN HOCKEY LEAGUE

Western Hockey League

• Kole Lind continues to put up points with one goal and three assists in three games since last Thursday. Kelowna has two games left in the season, both against Vancouver, so 100 points are likely out of reach.

• Jakub Stukel with a slower week compared to previous ones – two assists in four games for him.

Ontario Hockey League

• Matt Brassard gets right back on track with three assists in three games this past week – he continues to play top pairing minutes and all situations for the Generals.

• Brett McKenzie is starting to pick up steam for the Attack – he ended this week with four goals and two assists in four games for Owen Sound. It’s fair to believe he is finally getting comfortable and is playing well. The upside may still be limited but it’s good to see him get back to playing the way he did for North Bay last season.

• Gadjovich with one goal and two assists in four games this past week – he is generating shots again, which is an encouraging sign.

• Cole Candella with one goal and one assist in three games this past week.

• Michael DiPietro was 1-1-0 this past week and continues to maintain a fairly static stat line. He is 10th in SV% and 6th in GAA in the OHL.

NCAA

• Adam Gaudette continues to pile up the points – one goal and two assists in the two-game sweep on UMass. Northeastern faces Providence in the Hockey East Semi-Finals. Gaudette was named to the Hockey East First All-Star Team and was also named a Top 10 Finalist for the Hobey Baker.

• William Lockwood’s season is done due to injury.

USHS

• Jack Rathbone still sits at 11 goals and 19 assists in 17 games – worth noting that the reporting can be delayed but from what I can gather, they did not play over the past week. (could be wrong though)

EUROPE

Sweden

• As you are probably aware by now – Pettersson won the SHL scoring title on Saturday, becoming the first rookie to do so since the 1970’s. Vaxjo will face Brynas or Linkoping in the next round of the playoffs – which begin on Saturday.

• Rodrigo Abols has been removed from the Blackfish Prospect report because he is no longer a prospect (and hasn’t been since June)

• Kristoffer Gunnarsson finished the season with zero points in 46 games – he was the only skater that appeared in more than 25 games to not register a point. Eleven goaltenders had more points.

• Jonathan Dahlen had himself a week! Putting up four goals and three assists in three games, helping to lead Timra IK past Leksands in the Allsvenskan Finals. Timra will now face Karlskrona in a best of seven series with a spot in the SHL on the line.

Finland

• Petrus Palmu did not appear in any games this past week as TPS Turku waits for their opponent in the playoffs.
• Same goes for Olli Juolevi.

Russia

• Nikita Tryamkin played one regular season game and four playoff games since our last update and was held off the scoresheet.
