Flames prospects making impact across many hockey leagues

Based in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, Upside Hockey’s prolific prospect profiler Trevor Curtis thoughts and observations throughout the hockey season on Calgary Flames prospects with an emphasis on the stats.

December 13th Update: CHL

Battaglia gets a goal, but was -2 in a 3-2 OT loss to Kitchener. He has 11 points in his last 10, but has slipped to 17th in OHL scoring with 30gp/18g/21a/39pts,even, 18 PIM. Kingston is 7th overall out of 20 teams.

Despite having more points than any player on either team, Mews is NOT named to the 3 stars of the game, posting 1g, 2a, +2, with 5 shots in a 3-2 OT win over Peterborough (he had the primary assist on the game-winner). He is 3rd in scoring by D, with 28gp/8g/29a/37pts,+2, 26 PIM, while the 67's are tied for 14th in the standings- which makes his accomplishments even more impressive IMO.

There's no stopping Luke Misa, who picks up another 2a (even, and 13/25 in faceoffs) in a 5-4 OT loss to Sudbury, with Rehkopf and Martone away at WJC camp. He is 12th in OHL scoring, with 29gp/18g/25a/43pts,+19, 2 PIM, and 11th in plus/minus, while the Steelheads are 12th out of 20 teams in the standings. In his last 14 games, the older Misa brother has 28 points.

Saginaw defeats Guelph, 7-6 without the services of Parekh, who is 4th in scoring by D with 25gp/10g/24a/34pts,+12, 43 PIM. He's also 14th in plus/minus for D, while the Spirit are 10th in the OHL. Mike Misa was first star tonight, with 2g, 2a, and +4 to take the lead in the scoring race by 5 points, with 28gp/29g/30a/59pts,+26, 21 PIM.

Morin had no points, and was -1 as the Wildcats defeat Acadie-Bathurst, 3-2 in OT. Despite only getting 1 point in the last 5, he is still 4th in scoring by D, with 28gp/6g/21a/27pts,+11, 18 PIM, and tied for 13th amongst blueliners in plus/minus. Moncton is second in the Q for points, but first in win %, at .800.

Gridin gets another 2a, and was +1 in a 4-3 win over Rouyn-Noranda, and is now 17th in scoring with 28gp/15g/19a/34pts,+7, 15 PIM. Shawinigan is tied for 8th in the Q standings.

Basha was first star with 1g, 2a, and +3 in a 5-1 beatdown of Moose Jaw. 20gp/9g/16a/25pts,-1, 28 PIM, while the Tigers are in 5th-place.
