1/8 Recap: Foligno hitting stride, Kass lowers boom
In Friday night OHL play, Marcus Foligno scored his seventh goal of the season and picked up a fighting major that led to huge momentum shift as Sudbury doubled Brampton, 4-2. The 6'3 checking forward is amidst a career-high five game point streak, including goals in three straight.
Foligno buried a one-timer from the slot top shelf at13:05 of the second period. After the Batallion came back with a goal just :37 later, Foligno came out on his next shift and drilled Rochester, NY native Phil Lane with a hit along the boards, causing Brampton forward Sam Carrick to challenge the relentless Foligno to a scrap.
Also from the OHL, Zack Kassian played his most complete game in weeks, but the Petes could not complete the third period comeback in a 4-3 OT loss to Oshawa. Kassian (-1) picked up an assist in the loss, and while failing to score a goal for the eleventh consecutive game, made a physical mark with one bruising hit in particular.
The 6'3 banger was in the middle of a scary moment with 3:07 left in regulation when his finishing check caused Generals forward Nick Esposto to leave the ice on a stretcher. Deemed a clean hit, the vulnerable Esposto hit his head on the glass upon impact after passing the puck up ice. No penalty was issued, and Esposto is expected to fully recover.
Kassian nearly iced the game n the OT when he executed a dangling offensive carry that has been quite rare in his season portfolio. Despite the solid effort, the Petes captain lost the puck at the point a few minutes later to allow a 2-1 break on Boone Jenner's short-handed overtime winner.
On Thursday, Kassian earned an assist as Peterborough lost to Mississauga, 6-3.
Also from Friday, Nick Crawford was -1 as Barrie got throttled by Kingston, 6-2. The Colts blueline is set to welcome Team Canada defenseman Alex Pietrangelo after a Friday night trade with Niagara.
In the QMJHL, Jacob Lagacé made his Cape Breton debut on Friday, registering four shots on goal as the Screaming Eagles were defeated by Saint John, 3-1. Cape Breton played without Maxime Legault, who left Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Montreal with an ankle injury. The 20-year old forward is slated to miss at least two weeks.
Jordon Southorn finished +1 as PEI bested Gatineau, 5-4.
In NCAA action, reigning NCAA Player of the Month Corey Tropp was credited with a pair of assists as Michigan State skated past Lake Superior, 4-2. The leading point-getter in the entire NCAA, Tropp missed a chance to pile up additional marks by earning a 10-minute unsportsmanlike misconduct in the final minute of the second period.
Brad Eidsness was called on to make just 18 saves, while Corey Fienhage finished +1 as North Dakota defeated Minnesota State, 4-1. Justin Jokinen was -1 with two shots on goal for the losing side.
Alex Biega was even as Harvard lost a non-conference match-up at Minnesota, 5-2.
In Pittsburgh, sophomore netminder Connor Knapp watched from his usual Friday spot on the bench as his top-ranked Miami RedHawks were upset by Robert Morris, 3-1. Knapp should get the nod when the two clubs complete the home-and-home series on Sunday in Oxford.
Nick Eno made 28 saves including 17 in the opening twenty minutes as Bowling Green lost to Ohio State, 7-2. The junior keeper allowed five of the seven goals before giving way to Andrew Hammond with 11:35 to play in the third.
In the USHL, Mark Adams was +1 as Chicago lost to Des Moines, 5-3.
On Thursday, Brayden McNabb picked up an assit as Kootenay edged Calgary, 2-1. The 6'4 blueliner, who saw his seven-game point streak snapped in Wednesday's 8-1 win over Saskatoon, is currently fourth in WHL scoring for defenseman with 40 points (12+28) in 34 games.

1/30 Recap: Streak stopped for Tropp; Lagacé priced high
Corey Tropp notched an assist on Wednesday as Michigan State won the Great Lakes Invitational with a 6-1 win over RPI. Tropp made a cross-ice feed to Jeff Petry in the second period to register his 29th point of the year, but going without a goal ended his career-high streak of five straight games with a marker. Regardless, the junior still leads all NCAA players with 17 goals this season.
In the QMJHL, Jacob Lagacé (+3) had a goal and two assists as Chicoutimi edged Baie-Comeau, 4-3. The game's #1 star, Lagacé now has 29 goals and 52 points this season to leads the Sagueneens (14-15-4-4).
With Lagacé's name still surfacing in various trade rumors, word out of Chicoutimi is that Sags Coach and GM Richard Martel believes that the net-crashing scorer may return to the QMJHL next season as a 20-year old. Because of this, the asking price for his star forward will be more than what he received in the deal that sent Nicolas Deschamps to Moncton. Frankly, Lagacé going back to the QMJHL is very debatable. As of now, SabresProspects has him penciled in for Portland next season.
Elsewhere, Maxime Legault posted an assist and a game-high nine shots on goal as Cape Breton defeated Halifax, 4-2. The 6'2 Legault has three assists in three games since being traded to the Eagles.
Jordon Southorn was -2 as struggling PEI lost to Bathurst, 5-2. The Rocket saw four players traded away in the previous two days, and their effort resembled a team scrambling to make ends meet.
In the QMJHL, Jacob Lagacé (+3) had a goal and two assists as Chicoutimi edged Baie-Comeau, 4-3. The game's #1 star, Lagacé now has 29 goals and 52 points this season to leads the Sagueneens (14-15-4-4).
With Lagacé's name still surfacing in various trade rumors, word out of Chicoutimi is that Sags Coach and GM Richard Martel believes that the net-crashing scorer may return to the QMJHL next season as a 20-year old.

12/29 Recap: Lagacé keeps stacking; McNabb streak snapped
Jacob Lagacé scored his 28th goal of the year on Tuesday as Chicoutimi lost a hard-fought 5-4 decision to Baie-Comeau. The 5'11 Lagacé remains atop the QMJHL goal scoring list with 28 - two ahead of speedy Saint John center Mike Hoffman (26).
In the WHL, Brayden McNabb garnered an assist but saw his five-game goal scoring streak snapped as Kootenay edged Red Deer in a shootout, 5-4. McNabb is currently tied for the WHL defencemen in scoring with 37 points (12+27) in 31 games.
Elsewhere, Maxime Legault posted a pair of assists as Cape Breton throttled QMJHL cellar dweller Halifax, 6-0. The points, his first as an Eagle after being traded two days before Christmas, raise his season total to 22 (10+12).
Jordon Southorn was -4 as PEI lost to QMJHL powerhouse Saint John, 5-2. The Rocket were reeling a bit after trading their 1st and 4th leading scorers, Joel Champagne and Chris Doyle, to Victoriaville earlier in the day. The Tigers stocking up their offense could mean that Chicoutimi will have to find another suitor if they indeed have designs on moving sniping forward Lagacé.
In the OHL, Nick Crawford scored a goal and an assist as Barrie defeated Kitchener, 7-4. Crawford scored his 9th of the season when he beat Brandon Maxwell (COL) with a shot low to the blocker side at 18:40 of the opening period. With 22 straight victories, the Colts are closing in on the record of 25 set by Kitchener back in 1984.
Marcus Foligno picked up an assist as Sudbury stopped Soo, 4-2. Foligno found Cain Allicock from behind the net at 1:56 of the first period to put the Wolves ahead, 1-0.
In the NCAA, Alex Biega assisted on a late empty-netter as Harvard defeated #8 Quinnipiac, 3-1. The senior captain now has a goal and four assists through the Crimson's first 12 games.

Tropp hits 17 as Spartans roll
Corey Tropp (+3) scored his 17th goal of the season on Tuesday as #13 Michigan State opened the 2009 Great Lakes Invitational with a 10-1 trouncing of Michigan Tech.

Playing a quick game of catch-up:
Brayden McNabb scored a goal for the fifth straight game on Sunday as Kootenay defeated Calgary, 3-1. The goal gives the 6'4 blueliner an even 36 points in 30 games this season. McNabb finished the 2008-09 season with 36 points in 67 games.
Maxime Legault made his Cape Breton debut on Sunday, registering two shots on goal and going 5/11 at the dot in the Eagles 3-0 blanking of PEI. Jordon Southorn posted three shots on goal for the Rocket.
Jacob Lagacé was -2 as Chicoutimi got smoked by Quebec, 10-1.

Legault to the nest
While the NHL rests with a holiday trade moratorium in place, the transactions have been coming at a good pace in the QMJHL since the league's trade period opened on December 19th. As a result, one Sabres prospect will be joining another after Wednesday's deal between the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and Shawinigan Cataractes.
With one point separating three teams in the Atlantic Division battle for second place, the Eagles were in the market for grit and leadership. Legault, who played five games with the Portland Pirates this fall before being returned to the Q, could address those needs by skating on the Eagles top line with leading scorer, Luke Adam (33 GP 25-27-52). Adam, 19, is currently with playing with Team Canada at the U20 World Junior Championships in Saskatoon.
Another Sabres property, Jacob Lagacé, could be on the move before the trade window closes on January 7th. Lagacé, who leads the league with 27 goals, was rumored to be heading to Victoriaville before Chicoutimi agreed to send Anaheim prospect Nicolas Deschamps to Moncton. The price will not be cheap, but teams in the hunt would love to add his scoring and experience.
The Cape Breton Screaming Eagles acquired 20-year-old forward Maxime Legault from the Shawinigan Cataractes on Wednesday in exchange for defenceman Michael Ward and winger Maximilien Le Sieur.
The Eagles also obtained Shawinigan’s fourth-round pick in 2010 and a second-round pick in 2011 in the deal. The Cataractes get Cape Breton’s second-round pick in 2010 and a first-round pick in 2011.
Legault, a seventh-round selection by the Buffalo Sabres in last year’s NHL Entry Draft, has collected 10 goals and 10 assists in 22 games with Shawinigan this season. He had 28 goals and 44 points last season.
The 20-year-old Ward had 15 points — all assists — in 19 games with Cape Breton. Le Sieur, 17, had four goals and 10 points in 36 games.

12/18 Recap: Lagacé finds four more
Jacob Lagacé scored four goals and an assist on Friday to power Chicoutimi past Baie-Comeau, 6-2. The hat trick, the fourth of the year for the 5'11 forward, ups Lagacé's impressive season numbers to 27 goals and 48 points through 30 games. Lagacé's big night was his second in as many seasons against the Drakkar after posting four goals and an assist to spearhead a 10-5 win last January.
In NCAA play, Justin Jokinen scored his second goal of the season as Minnesota State played to 1-1 tie with Nebraska-Omaha. Skating on the fourth line, the sophomore hit on a tough angle shot from the left circle to open the game's scoring at 8:40 of the first period.
Elsewhere, Jordon Southorn had two assists as PEI dropped an 8-5 decision to Quebec. The points snap a seven game pointless streak for Southorn, his longest dry spell since March of 2007.
Maxime Legault posted six shots on goal as Shawinigan was shut out by Victoriaville, 5-0.
In the OHL, Nick Crawford was +2 with an assist as Barrie dropped the hammer on Kingston, 10-2.
Zack Kassian finished -4 as Peterborough was bounced by Ottawa, 8-0. The slumping Kassian is -5 with no points in his last four games.
Marcus Foligno was even as Sudbury downed Erie, 5-4.
In the USHL, Mark Adams was even with a delay of game minor as Chicago got past Omaha, 3-2.

12/11 Recap: Tropp sparks Spartan rally
Corey Tropp continued his pre-Christmas cruise on Friday, scoring the game-tying goal then starting the play on the overtime winner as Michigan State rallied past Bowling Green, 3-2.
Trailing 2-0 entering the third period, the visiting Spartans forced the extra session when Tropp buried a rebound through the legs of Nick Eno at 14:20. The late equalizer was Tropp's second in as many games, with the OT helper giving him eight multi-point games this season. Eno made 21 saves in the Falcons net to move to 2-9-1 on the year.
In a WCHA battle, Brad Eidsness was pulled for the first time in his career after allowing three goals in 23:48 of work as North Dakota played to a 3-3 tie with Wisconsin. Corey Fienhage was -1 after getting back late on the third Badger goal.
Per the game highlights below, Eidsness would certainly like the last goal back. Fienhage (4) is seen sliding to prevent the shot after losing control of the puck in the neutral zone, but otherwise played well on the Sioux blueline.
Elsewhere, Justin Jokinen was even with two shots on goal as Minnesota State defeated Bemidji State, 5-1. The sophomore's offensive tools were briefly shown while skating on the fourth line, and it's easy to think that consistent two-way hustle can keep him in the Maverick lineup. To date, coach Troy Jutting has used the spare forwards to keep the group honest. Jokinen has been a scratch five times as a result.
Connor Knapp took his regular Friday post on the Miami bench as the #1 RedHawks posted their third consecutive shutout with a 6-0 thrashing of Ohio State. Knapp will look to extend the blanking of the opposition when he mans the Miami crease on Saturday.
In QMJHL action, Jordon Southorn finished -2 as PEI lost to Saint John, 4-1. The Sea Dogs continue their QMJHL domination by collecting their 21st straight victory - the third longest streak in league history.
Jacob Lagacé and Maxime Legault were both held without points as Chicoutimi won a 3-2 shootout over Shawinigan. Lagacé has now gone three games without a point for the first time since February of 2008.
In the WHL, Brayden McNabb was -1 with a high sticking minor in Kootenay's 3-1 loss to Calgary.
Mark Adams remained out with a separated shoulder as Chicago lost to Sioux City, 3-2.
An OHL match-up between Nick Crawford's Barrie Colts and Marcus Foligno's Sudbury Wolves was postponed due to poor travel conditions.

12/6 Recap: Lagacé cools off
Jacob Lagacé saw his 11-game point streak snapped on Sunday as Chicoutimi was blanked by Victoriaville, 3-0. The streak, which began on November 1st in Lagacé's first game back from a head injury, saw the forward accumulate 24 points (12+12) to vault into the top-five of the QMJHL scoring race.
Also from the QMJHL, Luke Adam scored his 21st goal of the year in Cape Breton's 5-4 loss to division rival Moncton. Adam, who finished the game a season-low -3, earned his first major penalty of the season after taking on 6'0, 175-pound Ted Stephens late in the opening period.
Maxime Legault notched a pair of second period assists as Shawinigan scored four unanswered goals to beat Drummondville, 6-4.
In the OHL, Marcus Foligno was +2 as Sudbury downed Brampton, 3-1. Former Buffalo Jr. Sabre and 2010 eligible Phil Lane (Rochester, NY) scored his 7th goal of the season for the Battalion.

12/4 recap: Friday night fever for Lagacé
Jacob Lagacé notched his second consecutive Friday night hat trick, including goals just :18 apart, as Chicoutimi lost a 7-6 overtime decision to Rouyn-Noranda. The Sagueneens scored six times in a wild, nine-goal third period but surrendered the game winner just :23 into the extra session. The game's #2 star, Lagacé (+2, 10 SOG) also added an assist to raise his season totals to 22 goals and 42 points while extending his point streak to 11 games. The hat trick was his third of the season.
In the OHL, Zack Kassian posted a goal and an assist, but Peterborough suffered several defensive lapses in an 8-4 loss at Kitchener. The 6'3 crash-and-banger finished a season-low -3 but still earned the game's #3 star.
Nick Crawford scored a late goal on the power play as Barrie kept rolling with a 6-3 win over Erie. The Colts move to 17-0-0-1 in their last 18 games, and current sit at #3 in the CHL Mastercard Rankings.
Marcus Foligno was even as Sudbury won their second straight game 5-4 over Brampton.
In the WHL, Brayden McNabb was -1 as Kootenay fell to Prince George, 4-1.
Jordon Southorn was even as PEI defeated Halifax, 8-5. Joel Champagne (TOR) scored four goals to pace the Rocket.
Maxime Legault was -1 as Shawinigan was shut out by Baie-Comeau, 2-0.
In NCAA action, Corey Tropp scored the only goal of the game in Michigan State's 1-0 shutout of Northern Michigan. The goal, Tropp's 11th of the season, broke the scoreless tie with 6:07 left in regulation.
Brad Eidsness stopped 29 pucks to earn his eighth win of the season as #3 North Dakota defeated #12 Duluth, 4-2. Corey Fienhage continued his simplistic yet effective play in relief of senior captain Chay Genoway, finishing even with a shot on goal in the Sioux victory.
Elsewhere, Nick Eno made 25 saves in Bowling Green's 2-1 loss to Lake Superior.
Drew MacKenzie was +1 as #19 Vermont played to a 3-3 tie with Boston University.
Connor Knapp watched as creasemate Cody Reichard stopped all 24 shots throw at him in Miami's 1-0 blanking of #14 Notre Dame. With Knapp allowing five second period goals last weekend against North Dakota, it is unclear if coach Enrico Blasi rides the hot goalie or elects to stick to his set schedule of Knapp getting the Saturday nods.
Justin Jokinen was scratched for the third straight game as Minnesota State downed Minnesota, 3-1. The sophomore has just one goal in ten games and needs to be more consistent in order to stick as a regular in the Maverick forward lineup.
In the OHL, Zack Kassian posted a goal and an assist, but Peterborough suffered several defensive lapses in an 8-4 loss at Kitchener. The 6'3 crash-and-banger finished a season-low -3 but still earned the game's #3 star.

11/28 Recap: McNabb leads way; Marcus earns marks
Brayden McNabb scored the game-tying and game winning goals on Saturday to lead Kootenay past Kelowna, 4-2. The power play goals were the fifth and sixth of the season for the rugged WHL defender.

In the OHL, Marcus Foligno scored a goal for the second straight game as Sudbury lost in a Saturday night shootout to Barrie, 4-3. Foligno lit the lamp on the power play at 9:05 of the third period to force the extra session. Nick Crawford was +1 for the winners.
Somehow not included in Friday's recap was Foligno's slumpbusting effort on that saw him net his second goal of the year (and first in 22 games) in the Wolves 4-2 loss to Owen Sound.

In the QMJHL, Maxime Legault scored on the power play in the game's final minute to give Shawinigan a 4-3 win over Moncton. The 20-year old also earned an assist to up his season totals six goals and six assists through his first 12 games.

In the NCAA, North Dakota's Brad Eidsness made 21 saves while Connor Knapp stopped 19 shots for Miami as the #3 Sioux and #1 RedHawks played to an exciting 5-5 tie at the Subway Holiday Classic.

All ten goals against involving the Sabres goaltending prospects:
In the CCHA, Nick Eno made 33 saves as Bowling Green battled to a 4-4 tie with Notre Dame. Three of the Irish goals came on the power play.

11/21 Recap: Kassian leads; Lagacé stays warm
Zack Kassian scored a shorthanded goal and assisted on the game winner on Saturday as Peterborough edged Niagara, 3-2. With his team trailing 2-1 after 40-minutes, the Petes captain scored at 5:02 of the third period to tie the game, shift momentum, and help earn the game's #1 star honors. With the two-point night, Kassian notched back-to-back multi-point efforts for the first time this season.
Jacob Lagacé extended his point streak to seven games by scoring a goal in Chicoutimi's 3-2 loss to PEI. The goal was Lagacé's 15th of the season, and 11th at even strength. Rocket defenseman Jordon Southorn was +2 with an assist and a fighting major in the win. The 6'2 Southorn took five after initiating with Sags forward Rock Régimbald, whose knee-on-knee hit in the third period left Rocket scorer Benjamin Casavant hobbling to the locker room.
Luke Adam posted a pair of assists as Cape Breton came up short in a 4-3 shootout loss to Bathurst. Adam has been a dominant offensive force for the Screaming Eagles with 36 points in 25 games, but he continues to struggle in shootouts with an 0/8 mark over his four junior seasons. The Eagles as a whole are not fans of the breakway session as evidenced by their 0/17 season number.
Also from the QMJHL, Maxime Legault assisted on the game winning goal as Shawinigan bested Montreal, 3-1.
In the OHL, Nick Crawford was -2 with an assist as Barrie defeated Saginaw, 4-2. 2009 eligible Ivan Telegin (6'3, 185 lbs.) scored his 18th goal of the year for the Spirit.
Marcus Foligno finished -1 as Sudbury was outclassed by Mississauga-St. Mike's, 5-1. The gritty wing earned a late game misconduct after trying to fight Majors' dman Cameron Gaunce as part of a chippy third period. The Majors (19-4-2) outshot the Wolves (9-14-0-2) by a 54-20 margin.
In the NCAA, Brad Eidsness made 29 saves but #2 North Dakota coughed up an early two-goal lead in a 3-2 loss at #3 Denver. Eidsness, who was very strong in the weekend losses. allowed three power play goals in the second period, including two off the stick of former AJHL rival, Joe Colborne. Corey Fienhage was steady defensively in his third straight game for the Sioux while becoming more comfortable moving the puck.
Connor Knapp made 29 saves as #1 Miami tied Western Michigan, 1-1. The goal against came after a turnover down low caused a Bronco forward to shovel the puck past the sophomore netminder. With Knapp's last two Saturdays resulting in 1-1 ties, SabresProspects is thinking the same could hold true next week when the Redhawks meet up with Brad Eidsness and current #2 North Dakota at the Subway Holiday Classic in Grand Forks.
In other CCHA action, Nick Eno made 26 saves as Bowling Green's winning streak was halted at one with a 4-1 loss to #16 Michigan. A tip-in and a clean wrister from the slot gave the Wolverines a two-goal lead in the first 12 minutes. Moments later a turnover from in deep upped UM's advantage to 3-1, and they never loooked back. The loss drops Eno's record to 2-4 on the year.
In the ECAC, Alex Biega (-1) uncorked eight shots on goal as Harvard played to a 2-2 tie with Clarkson. The Crimson held a 2-0 lead late into the third before surrendering two goals :32 apart in the 56th minute.
Justin Jokinen was -1 as Minnesota State lost at Alaska-Anchorage, 4-1. Jokinen should continue to see steady playing time with junior forward Andrew Sackrison suffering a broken leg in Friday's 8-3 win.
In the USHL, Mark Adams did not play in Chicago's 4-0 shutout loss to Indiana.
Brayden McNabb did not take the ice for Kootenay's game with Swift Current, which makes his projected return set for next Friday (and his inclusion in the Subway Superseries still questionable).
