Jets Prospect Update | January 10th, 2017

CHL prospects continue to put up points, NCAA prospects return from the holiday break, and an AHL all-star highlights the prospect update. We’ll take a look in detail after the jump!

Since last week’s update, Erik Foley and Jack Roslovic played two more World Junior games. The US team took down the Russians in the semi-finals and took the gold medal in a shootout win over Team Canada. Congratulations to Erik and Jack!

Jansen Harkins and the Cougars won one of their two games this week, a pair of games at home against the Victoria Royals. Harkins had a secondary assist on the only goal in a loss and scored the first Prince George goal the following night. Harkins was in front of the net and was hit with the puck, which deflected into the net. The Cougars are looking to take a good run at the playoffs this year, adding potential first rounder in 2017, Nikita Popugaev.

Matteo Gennaro has been on fire the last two weeks and is currently on a four-game point streak (5G, 4A for 9 points). The Hitmen lost both games (6-2 to the Pats and 8-4 to the Wheat Kings) despite the point streak. Gennaro scored a fantastic goal on Friday to cut the lead in half, but Regina returned the favour a minute later and Portage la Prairie product Nick Henry scored four minutes later to put the game away.

Jordy Stallard scored on a giveaway on Friday night and assisted on a Gennaro powerplay goal the next night in Brandon. Stallard is now third in team scoring, behind new acquisition Jake Kryski.

Michael Spacek played a single game after his return from the World Juniors. Spacek played Friday night and was scratched from the lineup in the following game. This is most likely a rest day.

Logan Stanley scored a goal and added two assists this week. Stanley unleashed a bomb on Tuesday night on goaltender Tyler Johnson. The Spitfires won twice and lost one as they continue to sit comfortably in a playoff position.

Luke Green is continuing to find success with his new team. Green is currently on an assist streak spanning seven games with ten assists (nine with Sherbrooke).

Mikhail Berdin played a single game this week, a shootout loss to the Bloomington Thunder. Berdin stopped 44 of 48 and managed to add two assists to his point totals!

CJ Franklin contributed a pair of assists in two wins over Alabama Huntsville. Minnesota State have won three in a row and are 13-7-2 overall this season. Franklin’s 19 points puts him third in team scoring.

Tucker Poolman recorded three assists this week as North Dakota embarrassed Omaha 9-1 and 7-3 on Friday and Saturday. The Poolman brothers appear to be together on a defensive pairing and combined for a goal on Saturday.

Erik Foley had a shot on goal in a 3-1 loss to Boston College on Sunday, playing an outdoor game at Fenway Park. Providence will be back at it tonight in a non-conference game against Yale.

Mason Appleton had a primary assist on Saturday against Wisconsin. Michigan State scored a grand total of two goals over the weekend, losing 5-1 to Matt Ustaski and Wisconsin both nights.

Matt Ustaski scored! Ustaski potted the last goal of the weekend for Wisconsin on Saturday.

Jack Glover and Minnesota had the week off.

Pavel Kraskovsky did not record a point in four games played. He had five shots on goal and won 19 of 37 faceoffs (51%). Kraskovsky plays a 4th line game but does not throw his weight around.

Sami Niku was also held without a point this week. Niku fired 10 shots on goal, averaging just over 21 minutes per game in ice time. 

Jacob Cederholm did not play a game in any league this week. It remains to be seen where he ends up for the rest of the season.

The Manitoba Moose played four times this week, winning the first game of the week but losing the next three. The Moose fall to a 14-15-3-2 record on the season and are now fifth in the Central.

The Moose may have been lucky to get the W in game one, as they were out-shot 35 to 16. De Leo and Lodge scored for the Moose in the 2nd period. Comrie started the second game against the Marlies, stopping 31 of 35 in a 4-3 loss. 

Following this game, Eric Comrie could not participate in the game on Saturday due to sickness. Local firefighter Greg Husson would serve as Pavelec’s backup and got to take a fun little lap by himself. Very fitting, as the Moose will be hosting Firefighter Appreciation Day on the 15th. Be sure to check out the jerseys!

Jamie Phillips was called up for Sunday’s game against Iowa, also serving as Pavelec’s backup. Comrie must be feeling better, as Phillips was returned to Tulsa on Monday night.

Jack Roslovic was named an AHL All-Star and will represent the Manitoba Moose. The skills competition and game will be held January 29th and 30th at the PPL Center in Allentown, PA. Despite leaving for the World Juniors, Roslovic still leads the Moose with 19 points in 25 games in his rookie season.

Ryan Olsen was recalled by the Moose following his three games played last week.

Jamie Phillips played a rough trio of games prior to his recall to the Moose and re-assignment back to Tulsa last night. Phillips now sports an 18-10-0-1 record with Tulsa, still holding a two win lead for tops in the ECHL.
