But the Blue Jackets’ core players were able to stretch their legs one last time before the games start to count, and they showed off some firepower in the most important tune-up of the preseason Friday night. Captain Nick Foligno frowned on some of the loose play and Cam Atkinson seconded that thought, but nothing could throw ice on Zach Werenski’s night. Werenski assisted on the first three goals and looked like the All-Star that he has been in coming back from offseason shoulder surgery in the Blue Jackets’ 7-6 victory over Pittsburgh on Friday night at Nationwide Arena. Artemi Panarin scored the first two goals of the game and had two assists, and Atkinson had one goal and three assists playing on the No. 1 line with center Pierre-Luc Dubois. Defenseman Dean Kukan got the equalizer at 10:25 of the third period and Oliver Bjorkstrand the winner at 16:04 against goalkeeper Casey DeSmith. “I felt good to be out there playing hockey,” Werenski said. “I’m off restrictions and I’m my old self and just playing hockey again.” It wasn’t just the offensive splash that he made, but his overall play in dominating the puck in his own end. “It didn’t take him long to join the rush, did it?” coach John Tortorella said of Werenski. “I thought he played well. I thought he was aggressive on offense and was hard defensively. He played in the corners. He dictates a lot of things that happen. I thought he played very well.” Tortorella was pleased with the play of Panarin, DuBois and Atkinson in this next-to-last preseason game. “It was a good line — a good line,” he said. “That’s our top line. I don’t know what the other lines are.” Foligno, though, frowned during most of his interview because the Penguins too often skated up and down the ice unmolested. Sidney Crosby and Carl Hagelin scored goals within 35 seconds of each other in the first period, and former Blue Jacket Derick Brassard had two breakaway goals. Columbus goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky had to make five saves in the closing minutes with the Penguins having an extra attacker with an empty net to preserve the victory. They outshot the Blue Jackets 37-29. “Obviously, we didn’t like the shootout where there are a high amount of goals,” Foligno said. “We found a way to win the game. We have to shore up some things defensively. There were too many odd- man rushes. Now it’s time to hunker down with our group and start playing for real knowing that we have a huge opportunity for ourselves.” The real dark spot was defenseman Scott Harrington leaving with an upper-body injury during his first shift of the game. Defensemen Seth Jones (knee) and Ryan Murray (groin) already are out. The final preseason game on Saturday in Chicago will feature 11 players who will start the season for the Cleveland Monsters. 2 Blue Jackets face tough decision in battle for final roster spot By Aaron Portzline, The Athletic – September 29, 2018 COLUMBUS, Ohio — The difficult roster decisions on the Blue Jackets’ defense have been made, essentially, by injuries. With Seth Jones (knee) and Ryan Murray (groin) sidelined, the Jackets have seven defensemen in camp, the perfect number. The picture up front is much cloudier, with five players competing for the final two or three roster spots heading into Friday’s exhibition game with Pittsburgh in Nationwide Arena. Jonathan Davidsson, Markus Hannikainen, Sonny Milano, Lukas Sedlak and Kevin Stenlund are the players fighting for their NHL lives. If the Blue Jackets keep 14 forwards, three of them can make the cut. If they go with only 13, only two of them survive. NHL rosters must be set by 5 p.m. Tuesday. “We’re going to have to make a decision here shortly,” Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. “We still have too many people, but the guys who are still here have played well. “Davidsson has played well, he can skate. I think Stenlund has been our leading scorer in the preseason, and he does a lot of good things away from the puck. Hanny’s had a good camp. Sedsy’s had a good second half of camp. We’ll see where it all goes.” The Penguins are bringing a strong lineup to Nationwide. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, Kris Letang, Patric Hornqvist, Derick Brassard … we could go on … will all dress tonight for Pittsburgh. The Blue Jackets will counter with the best lineup they’ve dressed all preseason, including the exhibition debut of Zach Werenski (shoulder): F1: Artemi Panarin – Pierre-Luc Dubois – Cam Atkinson F2: Nick Foligno – Alexander Wennberg – Oliver Bjorkstrand F3: Boone Jenner – Brandon Dubinsky – Josh Anderson F4: Sonny Milano – Riley Nash – Anthony Duclair D1: Zach Werenski – Markus Nutivaara D2: Gabriel Carlsson – David Savard D3: Scott Harrington – Dean Kukan The game is the game, especially against the Penguins. Both clubs will be looking for a ramp-up in emotion and camaraderie heading into the start of the season. But the subtext, at least for Columbus, will be figuring out the final roster spots at forward. Put another way: the fourth line. Here’s a closer look at the five players still in the running for the final two or three spots, listed alphabetically: Jonathan Davidsson Davidsson, 21, was a sixth-round draft pick (No. 170 overall) in 2017, but his climb to the cusp of an NHL career has happened quickly. 3 “I felt a little bit nervous at first, because they were all new things to me,” said Davidsson, who’s attending his first NHL camp. “But I’m getting more used to it and I think I would be better every game I play. For now, I’m not nervous anymore. “I bring my best game every day — a little speed, a little aggressiveness to the group.” In four games, Davidsson has zero points, 10 shots on goal and two penalty minutes. His speed and defensive awareness have been his best attributes. If Davidsson doesn’t make the Blue Jackets, he’ll head back to Sweden. That’s not his decision, or even a specific clause in his contract. It’s the transfer agreement between the Swedish Hockey League and the NHL — players under 22 years old, who were not first-round draft picks, can’t be assigned to the American Hockey League without first being offered to their Swedish club. In Davidsson’s case, that’s Djurgarden. “I want to play here, of course,” Davidsson said. “(NHL) is my dream. But I have a brother (Marcus Davidsson, drafted by Buffalo in the second round in 2017) in Sweden. It would be cool to play with him for one more year, but I want to play here.” Markus Hannikainen This is Hannikainen’s second and final season on a one-way contract, but he has yet to nail down a spot on the roster, much less a role in the lineup. “I gotta be honest, obviously there’s a little bit (of frustration),” Hannikainen said. “I can’t say it doesn’t bother me at all. We’re here to play. We’re here to take a spot. We’re here to show what we are made of. If you can’t do that, obviously that frustrates you. That’s why you are here.” If the Blue Jackets want a gritty fourth line, maybe Hannikainen wins out over the more highly skilled Milano. His ability to kill penalties could also work in his favor. In two preseason games, he has 0-1-1 with a minus-1 rating and three shots on goal. Hannikainen would require waivers to be sent to minor-league Cleveland. And because it’s a one-way contract, the Blue Jackets would be forced to pay his NHL salary ($675,000) even if he played for the Monsters. “It’s hard to say now what (the coaches) think,” Hannikainen said. “We have two games to go. I’m not playing tonight (versus Pittsburgh). Hopefully I’ll play on Saturday (in Chicago). “I don’t read the papers. I don’t look on the internet. I’m done with Twitter. I don’t like to speculate on these things.

    SHOT METRICS: AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO ADVANCED HOCKEY STATS by Mike McLaughlin Patrick McLaughlin July 2013 Copyright c Left Wing Lock, Inc. 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A primary goal of analysis in hockey and fantasy hockey is the ability to use statistics to accurately project the future performance of individual players and teams. Traditional hockey statistics (goals, assists, +/-, etc.) are limited in their ability to achieve this goal, due in large part to their non-repeatability. One alternative approach to hockey analysis would use puck possession as its fundamental metric. That is, if a player or team is dominant, that dominance should be reflected in the amount of time in which they possess the puck. Unfortunately, the NHL does not track nor publish data related to puck possession. In spite of this lack of data, there are methods that can be used to track puck possession. The purpose of this document is to introduce hockey fans (and fantasy hockey managers) to the topic of Shot Metrics. Briefly, Shot Metrics involves the use of NHL shot data to analyze individual players and teams. The shot data is used as a proxy for puck possession. Essentially, teams that are able to shoot the puck more often are doing so because they are more frequently in possession of the puck. It turns out that teams that are able to consistently outshoot their opponents typically end up winning games and performing well in the playoffs [1]. Thus, shot data can play an integral role in the way the game of hockey is analyzed.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 9, 2018 Sabres call up defenseman Guhle, goalie Ullmark from AHL Associated Press Jan. 8, 2018 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres have called up top defensive prospect Brendan Guhle and goalie Linus Ullmark from their American Hockey League affiliate. The call-ups were made Monday, a day after Buffalo closed out seven straight games on the road with a 4-1 loss at Philadelphia. The Sabres host Winnipeg on Tuesday. Guhle has seven goals and 13 assists for 20 points in 35 games in his first season with Rochester. He was Buffalo’s second- round pick in the 2015 draft and played three games with the Sabres during the 2016 season on an emergency call-up basis. Ullmark is tied for the AHL lead with 17 wins and ranks fourth with a .928 save percentage this season. He is 8-11-2 in 21 NHL career games. Sabres reward Guhle as defense prospect continues his growth The Buffalo News By John Vogl January 8, 2018 Brendan Guhle is putting his faith in the Buffalo Sabres' development plan. If they feel the defenseman should be in Rochester, that's fine by him. If they want to give him a chance in Buffalo, that's obviously a nice bonus. It's time to cash in that bonus. The Sabres have recalled their top defense prospect, and he's expected to be in the lineup Tuesday when Winnipeg visits KeyBank Center. "They said I earned the recall, and I'll just play my best," said Guhle, who joined the Sabres for Monday's practice.

  • 1989 NFHL Season Preview
    1989 NFHL Season Preview With the 1970s a distant memory and the 1980s soon to follow, the NFHL is getting ready to kick of its 19th season. Back in 1970, it was announced that a new professional hockey league would be opening its doors, and in 1971 the first league champion was crowned, with the St. Louis Blues bringing home the inaugural SMJ Cup. Back then, there were only 16 franchises, and the regular season was a mere 60 games long. Now, nearly two decades later, and with a vastly different landscape, the NFHL is finish off the 80s and move into their 3rd decade of play. The league has now expanded four different times, up to 24 teams, and the regular season has lengthened by 25%, while the playoffs now require 16 victories, rather than 12. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves thinking about the 1990s, it’s time to break down the upcoming 1989 season, where the Montreal Canadiens seek to become the first ever three-peat champion in NFHL history. 1 New York Islanders 2 Philadelphia Flyers 3 New York Rangers 4 New Jersey Devils 5 Pittsburgh Penguins 6 Washington Capitals The cream of the crop. The Gold Standard. The most dominant team in NFHL history. For nearly two full decades, the New York Islanders, previously the California Golden Seals, have been atop the standings, while bringing home four SMJ Cups. In many ways, 1988 was a pivotal season for the Islanders. It’s no secret that the team has been getting older, and the core has stayed the same for years.

AHLTV.COM OPENING COURSE: YOUTH IS SERVED 2020-21 In the days leading up to the Chicago Wolves’ opener Friday night against the Grand Rapids Griffins, TALE OF THE TAPE head coach Ryan Warsofsky promised that his youngest players would be thrown right into the fire. REGULAR-SEASON SERIES Sure enough, when the Wolves took the ice, their 12-man forward group featured four players who 0-0-0-0 Rockford | 0-0-0-0 Chicago would normally be playing in juniors. LAST MEETING March 8, 2020 But with the juniors on hold until further notice due to COVID-19, four 19-year-olds — Seth Jarvis, Jamieson Rees, Ryan Suzuki and Phil Tomasino — found themselves in the thick of the action during the Wolves’ 3-1 victory over the Griffins that served as their professional debuts. Each youngster was placed on a different line with more experienced players. But when the power plays came... 0-0-0-0 1-0-0-0 Jarvis, who turned 19 Monday, delivered the game-winning goal when he deposited a power-play goal past Griffins goaltender Pat Nagle at the 2:09 mark of the second period. Tomasino and rookie LEADING SCORERS LAST YEAR Dominik Bokk (who turned 21 Wednesday) set up Jarvis with a perfect tic-tac-toe while Suzuki was ROCKFORD CHICAGO also part of that power-play unit.

Over 50 Saints, including the likes of Mark Messier, Rob Brown, Brian Benning, Stu Barnes, Mike Comrie, Steve Reinprecht and Fernando Pisani have played for the Saints on their way to the National Hockey League. The aforementioned Saints legends paved the way for the likes of Ben Scrivens, Matt Benning, Carson Soucey, Kodi Curran and Ian Mitchell to reach their hockey dreams of playing in the NHL. With the growing list of NHL players, they are joined by an unparalleled list of Saints alumni that have advanced to all levels of professional hockey in North America and Europe as well as the many Canadian College, University, and NCAA committed players both current and past. The alumni are a testament to the winning culture and reputation of this renowned franchise. The Saints are the only remaining franchise to survive from the original inception of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) in 1963. In 1972 the Edmonton Movers and Edmonton Maple Leafs combined to become the Edmonton Mets who, in turn became the Spruce Grove Mets in 1974. Under the direction of Doug Messier, the 1974-75 Spruce Grove Mets won the Centennial Cup Championship, the symbol of supremacy for Junior “A” hockey in Canada.

  • Trio Has Super Time in Minneapolis on Super Sunday
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/trio-has-super-time-in-minneapolis-on- super-sunday-472850603.html Trio has super time in Minneapolis on Super Sunday By: Mike McIntyre Three members of the Winnipeg Jets had a truly super Sunday. Mark Scheifele, Andrew Copp and Jacob Trouba took advantage of an off-day and made the quick trip to Minneapolis to watch the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII. "Unbelievable," Scheifele said Monday following practice. "Obviously lucky that it was in Minnesota, we had a day off. I surprised my brother and my best friend with their Christmas gifts — they got to come to the Super Bowl. And then Copper and Troubs came, too. It’s definitely something to cross off the bucket list and something that I’ll never forget." They took an early morning flight, soaked up the atmosphere before and during the game, and then caught a late-night flight home. Copp, a former high school quarterback in Michigan, said it was a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" and marvelled at getting to watch New England quarterback Tom Brady in action — even if it was in a losing effort. "It was a crazy game. There wasn’t much more Tom could have done — maybe catch the ball — but he was unbelievable," Copp said. "I turned to (Trouba) a few times and it was just like, ‘Wow, he’s playing one of the best games of his career, probably.’ And then (Philadelphia quarterback Nick) Foles made some great throws, too, so it was definitely an entertaining back- and-forth game." Copp and Scheifele didn’t hide their rooting interests, sporting Brady jerseys.
