<p>The hockey is happening! Across many leagues, levels and countries, Oilers players and prospects are in action. Here’s a quick look at progress, with an emphasis on the bubbling under prospects. </p>

<p>Leon Draisaitl helped Germany qualify for the Olympics (Group C) this weekend. He finished the tournament 3-2-5 in 3 games played and looks ready for the World Cup of Hockey and then Oilers camp.</p>

<h2>KHL</h2>
<p>Two players to follow this season in the Russian league:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bogdan Yakimov 1, 1-0-1 and 13:12 in his first game of the year. He got a late start due to injury. 
</li>
<li>Ziyat Paigin 4, 0-0-0 and 16:16 a night. He has missed a couple of games early in the schedule.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<h2>OTHER EURO</h2>
<ul>
<li>Filip Berglund went 3gp, 0-1-1 for the Swedish U20 team in a recent tournament. Also 2, 0-1-1 for Skellefteå AIK in the SHL (I believe pre-season). 
</li>
</ul>

<h2>CHL EXHIBITION</h2>
<ol>
<li>Tyler Benson, Vancouver Giants (WHL) 2, 1-2-3</li>
<li>Ethan Bear, Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL) 2, 1-1-2</li>
<li>Caleb Jones, Portland Winterhawks (WHL) 1, 0-0-0</li>
<li>Markus Niemelainen, Saginaw Spirit (OHL) 1, 0-0-0
</li>
</ol>
<p>Early days, but Benson is healthy and Bear is playing well in a year where he could post some impressive boxcars once the regular season begins. I am uncertain if any of these players will be in the mix for the World Juniors, but strong performances in their junior leagues should be the expectation. </p><p></p>
