Regular seasons are winding down around the prospect world and playoffs are ramping up in Russia. Vasily Podkolzin enjoyed some solid productivity in his first KHL playoff round and Michael DiPietro continues to give the Utica Comets confidence in between the pipes. All this and more in this week’s Blackfish Report.

CHL

  • Carson Focht scored a highlight-reel goal on Wednesday to go along with a primary-assist. He was held pointless in Calgary’s two other games and a -4.
  • 2 primary-assists on the power-play for Jett Woo this week in three games. Calgary sits in the first wildcard spot for the Eastern Conference. They have clinched a playoff spot and have 4 games left in the season.
  • Ethan Keppen is still out with injury.
  • Arturs Silovs struggled in his 2 games this week allowing 7 goals on 40 shots in his first start and then 6 goals on 37 shots in his following performance. 6 games remain in the Colts’ regular season with a playoff spot already locked down as they sit 5th in the OHL’s Eastern Conference.

NCAA

  • Aidan McDonough scored his 9th power-play goal of the season. The Huskies’ regular season has come to an end.
  • Big week for Jack Rathbone as Harvard took down St. Lawrence in the first round of the ECAC Hockey Tournament. In Game 1, Rathbone had a whooping 10 shots and added an electric end-to-end goal to seal the game.
  • In Game 2, the defenceman assisted on Harvard’s first 2 goals of the game, was a +3 and had 4 more shots.

#Canucks Jack Rathbone had 2A today. The 1st assist comes after his wrist shot is poke checked. The puck is picked up and tipped in. The 2nd assist is a beautiful stretch pass to send Bowlby in on a breakaway. He takes a big hit at 0:36. He returned to the game. 👇📽️:ESPN+
