Islanders Prospect Report

Arnaud Durandeau was the first Islanders prospect to advance in the Canadian junior playoffs, while David Quenneville was the first to be eliminated. Kieffer Bellows continues to pile up points and will play in game 7 vs Spokane on Tuesday. In the KHL, Ilya Sorokin trails in a series for the first time this postseason.

After losing game one of the series 4-3 in OT, the Winterhawks won three straight to push Spokane to the brink of elimination. The Chiefs responded with a 5-4 OT win in Portland on Saturday and a 5-2 win on Monday to keep the series alive.
Bellows, the Islanders 2016 first-round pick, has points in four of the six contests and is second on Portland in points (7) trailing only Cody Glass (8).

QUENNEVILLE ELIMINATED IN SIX GAMES:

David Quenneville and the Medicine Hat Tigers were eliminated in the first round of the WHL playoffs, falling in six games to the Brandon Wheat Kings.
Quenneville recorded eight points (1G, 7A) in the six-game series, posting a five-game point streak after being held off the scoresheet in the series opener. As of Monday morning, Quenneville was the WHL's highest-scoring defenseman in the postseason and was the highest-scoring defenseman in the regular season.
Medicine Hat won games one and two of the series by a combined score of 14-5, but the pendulum swung back in a major way, with Brandon winning four straight to close out the series. The Wheat Kings scored five goals in three straight games, winning 5-3 in game three and 5-2 in both games four and five.
Quenneville had a pair of assists in game six, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Wheat Kings, who closed out the series with a 4-3 overtime win.
The Islanders' 2016 seventh-round pick has amassed 214 points (69G, 145A) in 251 WHL games. Quenneville would have to sign an entry-level contract with the Islanders or an amateur tryout with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers to be eligible to finish the season in the AHL with Bridgeport.

DURANDEAU, HALIFAX ADVANCE IN QMJHL PLAYOFFS:

Arnaud Durandeau and the Halifax Mooseheads advanced to the second round of the QMJHL playoffs with a 4-1 series win over the Baie-Comeau Drakkar.
Durandeau had eight points (5G, 3A) in the five-game series, tied for sixth in playoff scoring in 'The Q.' The Islanders' 2017 sixth-round pick had at least a point in all five games and goal in four of the five games.

Durandeau had a pair of goals in Halifax's 4-0 series-clinching win on Friday, as well as a goal and an assist in a dominant 8-1 win in game four. Halifax outscored Baie-Comeau 24-10 in the five-game series.
Halifax's second round opponent has yet to be determined.

SOROKIN, CSKA TIED DOWN 2-1 VS SKA:

Ilya Sorokin and CSKA Moscow trail SKA St. Petersburg 2-1 in the KHL's Western Conference final.
After being pulled in the series-clinching win over Jokerit in the second round, Sorokin started in CSKA's 5-4 OT win over SKA in game one. SKA responded with a 2-0 win in game two and a 5-2 win in game three. This is the first time in this year's playoffs that CSKA has trailed in a series.
Sorokin is 8-4-0 in the postseason. Game four goes on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. eastern.
