Canucks Prospects Update

The good times continue for the organization.
With an 8-3-1 record on the season, and 8-1-1 in the last ten games, there are plenty of things to be excited about around the Canucks. But that is only the beginning of the exciting things happening in the organization.

The Utica Comets are 8-0-0 to start the year and plenty of the prospects around the world in the junior leagues making waves. Including one who took the hockey world by storm with a highlight reel goal this week.
We're back for the weekly update to keep you informed on everything happening with the prospects in the organization.

Russia

Podkolzin will be making his way to Canada this week to represent Russia at the Canada/Russia Series. He had a really strong performance against his peers at a U20 Four Nations event and will look to keep that up as he prepares for the World Juniors in December.
- Artyom Manukyan remains out of the lineup for Avangard (KHL).

Sweden

He played four games since our last update with that lacrosse-style goal being his lone point during that time.

He'll look to round back into form and work his way back up to the SHL club.

Finland

• Toni Utunen made his return to the Tappara lineup this past week. He played two games over the weekend, picking up one assist along the way. The timing of his return is a bonus as he is expected to be a big part of the Finnish defence at the World Juniors. If all goes according to plan, he will have plenty of time to work off the rust before heading to their training camp in early December
• Petrus Palmu continues to make his impact felt for JYP. In two games over the weekend, he had one goal and one assist. He now has 11 points (4-7-11) in 8 games and has cracked the top five in scoring for the team despite missing the teams first nine games.

Czech Republic

• 2019 6th round pick Karel Plasek was unable to register any points over past week. Like Hoglander and Costmar, he will participate in the U20 Four Nations event in early November and look to use that mini tournament as a showcase for the World Juniors selection process.

NCAA

• Aidan McDonough has been unable to register his first NCAA point this season but has been playing well for Northeastern.
• William Lockwood scored two goals since our last update - he now has three goals in six games for the University of Michigan.
• Jack Malone registered one assist for Cornell as they defeated the U18 US National Development Team Program by a 3-0 score this past weekend.
• After a long wait, Jack Rathbone will kick off his NCAA season this weekend with a contest against Dartmouth. He had a great freshman season for the Crimson last year and will look to take on a bigger role for them.

CHL

• Ethan Keppen scored one goal this past week.
