29. G Nick Ellis 7gp, 2.45 .930 (one game this week, .927) (rookie)

• Lander played one game with Beck and Hamilton and the trio caught fire. It will be interesting to see if the Barons can find two wingers for Jujhar Khaira, this giving the team two scoring lines for the first time this season.
• David Musil is a fine defender, and there was a time when his offense was mentioned, but that was in the early days of his draft year. This might be the best offensive week of his pro career.
• The goalies are both legit prospects.

NORFOLK ECHL

1. R Jaedon Descheneau 10gp, 3-2-5 (3gp, 0-1-1 this week)
2. RC Zach Pochiro 11gp, 2-3-5 (3gp, 2-0-2 this week)
   
3. RD Frankie Simonelli 7gp, 0-2-2 (AHL this week)
4. G Eetu Laurikainen 10gp, 3.75 .882 (two games, .868 and .875)

• Pochiro has played pretty well two weeks in a row, wonder if he gets an AHL look.

5. G Dylan Wells, Peterborough Petes 20gp, 3.23 .913 (Two games: .911, .884)

• Ethan Bear had a big week, as Mathew Barzal returned from the NY Islanders and had an impact on the Seattle offense.
