WEEKEND UPDATE!

Another busy week for Oilers prospects, including Mitch Moroz scoring his first pro goal. The trade deadline is just around the corner, so it’s a good time to pay close attention to Barons players who are ripping it up.

G Richard Bachman 21GP, 2.16 .925 (1GP, 2.77 .893 this week)
G Frans Tuohimaa 3GP, 4.22, .904 (ECHL this week)

Notes:

Short week, but the Moroz goal is a nice item. He appears to be getting a little more playing time, necessary for these young prospects to develop.
Laurent Brossoit had a nice recovery game after a tough outing just before the AS break.
The injury to Niki Nikitin should mean a callup, my guess is Brandon Davidson but my hope is Martin Marincin. Jordan Oesterle would also be a strong candidate.

CHL

C Kyle Platzer, Owen Sound (OHL) 46GP, 21-37-58 (4GP, 2-4-6 this week)
C-W Greg Chase, Calgary-Victoria (WHL) 41GP, 15-29-44 (3GP, 1-2-3 this week)
R Jackson Houck, Vancouver (WHL) 45GP, 15-23-38 (2GP, 0-0-0 this week)
C Marco Roy, Quebec (QMJHL) 41GP, 20-16-36 (2GP, 1-1-2 this week)
D Darnell Nurse, SSM (OHL) 28GP, 8-19-27 (3GP, 0-2-2 this week)
D Ben Betker, Everett (WHL) 44GP, 4-20-24 (2GP, 0-0-0 this week)
C Leon Draisaitl, Kelowna (WHL) 11GP, 7-10-17 (4GP, 3-3-6 this week)
G Keven Bouchard Val d’Or (QMJHL) 28GP, 4.33 .853 (3gp, 4.29 .869 this week)

L Vladimir Tkachev is 28GP, 9-18-27 for the year.

Notes:

Kyle Platzer is having a wonderful year. A two-way reputation married to these boxcars—and a big PP push—should mean he gets signed for sure.
Leon Draisaitl is settling in nicely, he’s approaching last year’s scoring (per game) and should surpass that as he continues to get acclimated.
Keven Bouchard may not be a good goalie.
