Prospect Report

Stars goaltending prospect Colton Point had an impressive debut for Colgate University over the weekend. The freshman netminder made 41 shots as Colgate and Connecticut played to a 4-4 tie Friday night.
Colgate was outshot 45-27 and was shorthanded eight times in the game, but didn't give up a power-play goal as Point stopped all 12 shots while the Raiders were shorthanded.
"[Point] was really, really good tonight. Your goalie has to be your best penalty killer and Colton was our best penalty killer tonight," Colgate coach Don Vaughan told the team's official site. "The number of times we were shorthanded, they were 0-8 on the power play and a big part of that was the way he performed - he made a huge save at the end."
The Stars drafted the 6-4, 219-pound Point in the fifth round (128th overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft. Point jumped up the NHL Central Scouting goaltending rankings last season after helping lead Carleton Place to the Central Canada Hockey League championship.
"We love his size, and he moves well in the net," said Joe McDonnell, Stars director of amateur scouting. "And he's going to get four years to develop in college."
