Only one game for Collberg again last week, and he didn’t hit the score sheet positively or negatively. After Collberg’s excellent streak a little while ago, he’s now gone 5 games without a point.

Magnus Nygren Elitserien Färjestads Last Week 2 1 0 1
Total 44 11 14 25

Nygren hit the score sheet once again this week with a goal. He’s now averaging a goal every 4 games exactly, a really nice mark for a defenseman.

Nystrom returned from an unspecified illness that had kept him out since January 20th. His first game back, Nystrom got right back on the scoreboard with a goal.

Brady Vail OHL Windsor Spitfires Last Week 4 2 1 3
Total 56 17 27 44

Considering Vail is playing defense, his increased level of production relative to the last few weeks is very impressive.

Last Week 2 1 2 3
Total 51 23 27 50

Archambault is slowly climbing back up to a point per game in the Q. Could he have a good enough finish to the year to re-establish himself as a meaningful prospect?

Charles Hudon QMJHL Chicoutimi Last Week 2 2 2 4
Total 45 27 29 56

A pointless streak that extended to 5 games as Chicoutimi struggled to score finally ended with an offensive explosion for Hudon. 2 goals and 2 assists in last night’s game show a hopeful return to form for the talented Hudon.

Darren Dietz WHL Saskatoon Blades Last Week 4 3 2 5
Total 57 16 23 39

Dietz is on a tear recently that’s erasing the slow start he had to the year. He’s put up a new high for goals in a season with 16, and he’s just 5 points behind last year’s point totals in 20 fewer games. Dietz is also a +16 in his last 9 games, which is crazy.

Dalton Thrower WHL Saskatoon Blades Last Week 4 0 1 1
Total 42 4 17 21

Thrower continues to be unimpressive offensively, and unlike Dietz who’s been ripping it up at even strength for quite awhile, Thrower was a -3 this week. I would say of all Habs prospects, Thrower is the one who’s stock has fallen most this year.

Tim Bozon WHL Kamloops Blazers Last Week 3 1 1 2
Total 56 32 43 75

Bozon didn’t rip the WHL apart this week like we’ve seen so often, but everyone has to have an off week or two. Luckily for us, an off week for Bozon is 2 points in 3 games.

Mac Bennett NCAA Michigan Last Week 1 1 0 1
Total 22 5 10 15

Bennett scored his first goal since his injury in January, and now has 2 points in the two games since his return. It’s hard to judge what the Canadiens have in Bennett since we really don’t get to see him, but his point production as a junior in the NCAA is pretty solid. He’s likely to play as a senior like Greg Pateryn did, as there’s really no room for him in Hamilton.

Danny Kristo NCAA North Dakota Last Week 1 1 1 2
Total 28 18 21 39

Kristo continues to impress with points in 13 of his last 15 games. Over that time, Kristo has produced 25 points. His ability to make plays with the puck while at top speed is something that should help him transition to the next level, which could be as soon as this year, depend on how UND does in the postseason, and how far the Canadiens go.

My streak of asking MacMillan to score and him scoring seems to have ended at 3. Oh well. Hopefully he rebounds this weekend.
