Prospect Spotlight

Mackie Samoskevich

The University of Michigan alum has found his groove in his first full AHL season.

In 47 games this season, Samoskevich has registered 38 points (17 goals, 21 assists) for the Charlotte Checkers.

Among his teammates, the rookie ranks first in goals, third in assists, second in points and third in shots.

A first-round pick (24^th overall) in the 2021 NHL Draft, Samoskevich has been at nearly a point-per-game in the last 10 games, producing nine points (five goals, four assists), including scoring the game-winning goal in overtime against the Hartford Wolf Pack on Tuesday.

Sandis Vilmanis

It’s been a big year for the Latvian forward in the OHL and his effort has not gone unnoticed.

Earlier this month, Vilmanis inked a three-year, entry level contract with the Panthers.

After recording 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 30 games with the Sarnia Sting to start the season, the 2022 fifth-round pick (157^th overall) has seemingly found another gear since being traded to the North Bay Battalion in February.

In 24 games with North Bay, the 20-year-old has logged 30 points (22 goals, eight assists).
