Prospect Team of the Week

Forwards

Angus Crookshank

Everyone loves a comeback story and Crookshank’s performance early in this AHL season have provided a lot of hope for a player who missed the entirety of last season with a knee injury. A goal and an assist on three shots in three games sounds like vintage Angus and we couldn’t feel any more grateful to see him back on the ice.

Oliver Johansson

It has taken some time naturally for Johansson to adapt to the tougher competition in Sweden’s Allsvenskan league but the young forward finally broke through with two goals this week on four shots for the Birch Leaf.

Carson Latimer

One of my favourite’s from last year’s draft class, Latimer could have now found his rhythm this season adding a goal and an assist in his lone game last week. He’ll have his work cut out for him if he wants to force the Raiders into the playoff picture again this year but at least he has a leading role where he can make the most of his ice time.

Defence

Jake Sanderson

We should probably talk about how Sanderson leads Ottawa’s defenders so far in this young season in categories like 5V5 CF% and xGF% while his pairing starts the fewest shifts in the offensive zone. I wish I had some cool highlights or something but I don’t and the numbers don’t lie. Jake is doing the damn thing, folks.

Ben Roger

So rarely do I get to promote Roger and I’ve barely spoken about him since the Sens drafted him in the second round last summer but this past week he had a respectable six shots in three games while only taking one minor penalty and scoring his first goal of the season.

Goaltender

Leevi Meriläinen

At this point we genuinely have to ask just what it will take to get another Ottawa Senators netminding prospect back into this feature. Meriläinen continued his resurgent season back in Finland with a 92.8 save percentage to lead Ottawa’s prospects (recording another shutout along the way!)
