WEEKEND UPDATE!

7 years ago

This photo was taken by Mark Williams, just seconds after Griffin Reinhart scored to end what might be the wildest outdoor game in hockey history. Williams’ photo frames the game perfectly—complete frustration for Ontario, and the somewhat delayed reaction from a Bakersfield team that had to come rushing back to gain a point in regulation. This moment led an eventful week for Oilers prospects, and here we go.

One quick final note. Filip Berglund’s five points in 30 SHL games may not seem impressive but if we break down the math there is a building story here. He is average 9:10 a night in all disciplines, meaning he has played 275 total minutes. That put him at 1.09 per 60 minutes in the SHL so far this season, a good number for an young defenseman. Many miles to go, but a good arrow this season.
