World Junior A Challenge (5 games): Ivan Stenberg (2026): 11 pts Benjamin Kevan (2025): 8 pts Viktor Klingsell (2025): 7 pts Eric Nilson (2025): 6 pts Jakob Ihs-Wozniak (2025) : 6 pts Anton Frondell (2025) : 4 pts US and Sweden were the only two competitive teams.

Frank Nazar has been recalled! As long as the Hawks give him top-six ice-time (hopefully next to Bedard) and powerplay one opportunities, he will continue to develop. He can also go back to the AHL. Just need a clear plan. My video on his AHL play: youtu.be/W3yBjm1PuA8?...

The new draft ranking of @eliteprospects.com is here! Our last one was based mostly on D-1 play. This is our updated view of the class. Not the deepest group, but a lot of very interesting players at the top. eprinkside.com/2024/12/11/t...

David Jiříček and the Columbus Blue Jackets seem destined to split ways. Here, I breakdown the defenceman's play this season, his projection, and what other NHL teams could best develop him. @eprinkside.bsky.social eprinkside.com/2024/11/29/e...

It feels like Slaflovsky is at the exact same point as last year around this time. He has 3 pts in 9 games since being split from Suzuki/Caufield and those all came with Suzuki on the ice anyway. Habs should go back to what works. Line wasn't perfect, but they were scoring.

EP app coming to you soon! A work in progress, but there will be a first version available for download around Christmas!

Michael Misa has hit the 40-point mark this season ... in 20 games. So much of his production comes from counter-attacking — often by his own doing. From there, he's a high-end finisher who can seamlessly blend his tools—release is ridiculous. Brilliant processor. #2025NHLDraft

Frank Nazar scored two goals last night and has 15 points in 12 games. That's the best production pace by a U21 player in the AHL so far this season. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3yB...

Frank Nazar, Artyom Levshunov, and Kevin Korchinski are all progressing at their own pace in the AHL. Here, I analyze the development challenges they're facing and how they could put themselves on track for regular NHL roles. @eliteprospects.bsky.social eprinkside.com/2024/11/18/c...

James Hagens is having an extremely unlucky start to his NCAA season. Across nine games, he's shooting at just 4% (1/23). It's wild because he's such an elite supporter. Check out some of his most dangerous chances this year. He shot 22% last season (18/81). Regression📈 #2025NHLDraft
