I believe due to no game action, Collberg had a one game loan to a team in the Swedish 3rd division, where he scored a goal and an assist while registering a +4 rating.

Only one game on the docket for Nystrom, but he made the most of it, recording both his first professional goal and first professional assist. This is a big step for Nystrom, I can't remember thinking this highly so quickly of a 6th round pick that wasn't an older player.

After just 4 goals in his first 11 games, Galchenyuk now has 20 in his last 21 games. Galchenyuk's 55 points place him 2nd in OHL scoring, and his 24 goals place him 3rd. Galchenyuk is 4th in points in the entire CHL, and two of the players ahead of him have played more games than him.

In spite of being a year older, and without any discernible defensive skills or intangibles, Archambault is on the same scoring pace as Brady Vail. If he was suited to a bottom 6 role that wouldn't really be a problem, but Archambault is an offense only guy, and this just isn't impressive enough for his 19 year old season.
