Jujhar Khaira returned from injury this week, but the Bakersfield Condors couldn’t get the offense going beyond a goal here or there. ZIyat Paigin finally returned to KHL action after a long layoff and the CHL and NCAA prospects were filling the net this week. Let’s have a look. Photo by Mark Williams, all rights reserved.

NORFOLK ADMIRALS, ECHL

  1. R Jaedon Descheneau 7gp, 3-1-4 (3gp, 1-0-1 this week)
  2. RD Frankie Simonelli 7gp, 0-2-2 (AHL this week)
  3. RC Zach Pochiro 8gp, 0-3-3 (3gp, 0-2-2 this week)
  4. G Eetu Laurikainen 8gp, 3.57 .886 (one poor game this week, .818)
  • It is nice to see Pochiro have some success. He was the player involved in the Nail Yakupov trade from St. Louis.
  • Eetu Laurikainen is struggling badly now, I wonder if he ends up in Finland in the new year.

CHL

  1. L Tyler Benson, Vancouver Giants 19gp, 8-13-21 (3gp, 0-2-2 this week)
  2. LD Caleb Jones, Portland Winterhawks 21gp, 3-15-18 (2gp, 1-2-3 this week)
  3. RD Ethan Bear, Seattle Thunderbirds 18gp, 5-8-13 (3gp, 0-1-1 this week)
  4. LD Markus Niemelainen, Saginaw Spirit 18gp, 0-3-3 (3gp, 0-2-2 this week)
  5. G Dylan Wells, Peterborough Petes 18gp, 3.10 .915 (Two games: .969, .812)
  • Caleb Jones had a big night on Sunday picking up a goal and two assists. He and Ethan Bear are part of that monster 2015 draft—Edmonton picked Connor McDavid and traded out of the second round, but still found value.
  • Markus Niemelainen scored 27 points in 65 games one year ago in Saginaw, but is off to a poor start offensively this season. The big Finn had a couple of assists this week, ending a long drought.

USHL

  5. L Evan Campbell, UMass-Lowell 13gp, 1-2-3 (2gp, 1-0-1 this week)
  6. RD John Marino, Harvard 7gp, 1-2-3 (1gp, 0-1-1 this week)
  7. LD Vincent Desharnais, Providence 6gp, 0-0-0 (2gp, 0-0-0 this week)
  8. G Zach Nagelvoort, Michigan 2gp, 2.52 .931 (DNP this week)

  6. LD Ziyat Paigin, AK Bars Kazan (VHL) 4gp, 0-2-2 (DNP this week)
  7. G Miroslav Svoboda, HC Dukla Jihlava (Cze 2) 13gp, 1.45 .953 (3 games this week)
