Ottawa Senators Prospect Update: November 21st

Plenty of noise out of Belleville, Sweden, and the CHL this week.

After showing up the rest of the prospect pool (and a good chunk of the NHL squad as well), your weekly prospect updates courtesy of Silver Seven Sens are now 100% Jake Sanderson-free. We hope these changes are satisfactory in the service of your Sens prospecting needs.

Forwards

Egor Sokolov

It’s crunch time for Sokolov now. Following his second-round selection as an overager back in 2020, he’s played two full seasons in Belleville as a solid offensive contributor. After this year, he’ll be eligible for waivers, so this season is crucial in proving he’s worthy of an NHL job on the team that drafted him. He’s begun his charge this past week as Belleville’s top prospect with 4 goals and 2 assists in 3 games, eclipsing a point-per-game pace with 16 points in 15 games on the year. With injuries piling up yet again on the NHL roster, they may be an opportunity to leave the AHL behind for good.

Ridly Greig

That is, unless Ridly Greig steals it from under his nose. Despite missing the first 5 games of the season with injury, the 28th-overall pick of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft is tied for fourth in team scoring, with 11 points in 10 games. It’s in large thanks to a three-point effort against Cleveland on Wednesday, followed by a two-point night against Toronto on Friday. Seriously, call somebody up, Pierre.

Oskar Pettersson

Belleville wasn’t the only team to explode offensively this week, as 2022 third-rounder Oskar Pettersson contributed two goals and an assist to a massive 8-2 win for Rögle BK’s U20 team. He’s spent the bulk of the year at the lower level, but he did take part in his fifth game this season in the SHL this week.

Defensemen

Jorian Donovan

Ottawa’s best-performing defenseman outside of the North American pro leagues has put together a string of noteworthy performances over the past few weeks. With 2 goals and an assist for Hamilton in his last 3 games, the fifth-round selection from 2022 is riding a 6-game point streak.

Filip Nordberg

Nordberg was one of several Sens’ defensemen to have the same stat line this week — 3 assists in 4 games, bringing the 2022 second-rounder up to 9 points in 15 games with Södertälje SK’s U20 team. He’s also played in 14 games with their Allsvenskan squad, in which he’s got 1 assist.

Goaltending

Kevin Reidler

Just because he was the only goalie in the prospect pool who saw any action this week doesn’t mean Reidler isn’t worthy of a shout-out. He turned aside 31 of 34 shots on Sunday for a .912 save percentage, picking up his third win of the season for AIK’s U20 squad.

Silver Linings

  • Tomas Hamara, the other half of Ottawa’s puck-moving OHL defensemen, returned to form with assists in 3 consecutive games with Kitchener.
  • Carson Latimer has continued his pursuit of an entry-level deal from the Senators, with 2 points in 2 games with Prince Albert this past week, and now has 5 goals and 10 assists in his last 10 contests.
  • Other key contributors to Belleville’s outstanding offensive output were Maxence Guenette (4A), Lassi Thomson (4A), Philippe Daoust (1G, 2A), and Viktor Lodin (1G, 2A).
