Gabe Perreault (Boston College)

Ten New York Rangers prospects took to the ice on Saturday night with just enough offense to consider the evening as acceptable. Slowly we are getting to see some signs of consistent play from what can be called a fully healthy group of prospects.

Gabe Perreault recorded his ninth multi-point game of the season as the second-ranked Boston College Screaming Eagles knocked off fourth-ranked Providence College 3-1 in Hockey East play. Perreault would get Boston College started when he squeezed a shot just inside the right post at 7:06 of the first period giving his team a 1-0 lead off the even-strength goal at 7:06.

In the third with Boston College up 3-1, Perreault earned his second point of the game when he set up Teddy Stiga for an even-strength goal at 14:03 to put the game away. The win gave Boston College a sweep of the two-game series.

For Perreault, the 1-1-2 evening came off a three shot +2 evening as Boston College’s leading scorer improved to 8-20-28.  Perreault’s 20 assists lead the Hockey East and is tied for second among NCAA scorers.

Teammate Drew Fortescue was scoreless on one shot with a +1.

Third star of the game Nathan Aspinall scored what proved to be the game winning goal on the power play at 6:19 of the third period to defeat the Owen Sound Attack 5-4 in OHL action.

Aspinall, who has been moved up to the left wing on Flint’s first line continues his solid play got the game winner when he fired a low wrist shot past the Owen Sound goalie for his 12th goal of the season.

It capped a team high seven shots with a -2 as he improves to a prospect best 12-18-30.

Freshman Ty Henricks got his fifth-ranked Western Michigan Broncos going with his second goal of the season as they defeated fellow freshman E. J. Emery and his North Dakota Fighting Hawks 5-1 in NCHC play.

Henricks who has been playing on Western Michigan’s fourth line as its left wing has had chances but tonight the puck finally went in for him. Henricks was credited with four shots as he improved to 2-3-5.

Emery was scoreless as he was on the right side of North Dakota’s first defensive pairing. Emery was called for a cross-checking minor as his only stat of the game.

Rasmus Larsson was scoreless as his Northern Michigan Wildcats defeated Bemidji State 3-1 in CCHA play. The win gave the Wildcats their first sweep of the season as well as their first two-game winning streak.

Hank Kempf was scoreless as his Cornell Big Red played 15th-ranked Quinnipiac to a 2-2 overtime tie in ECAC play. Cornell would earn the second point by winning the shootout round.

Brody Lamb was scoreless on a -3 as his third-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers dropped a 4-3 decision in overtime to Norte Dame in Big Ten play. Lamb has gone five games without a goal which is his longest goal-less streak of the season.

Noah Laba was scoreless as his 19th-ranked Colorado College Tigers dropped a 4-1 game to Minnesota-Duluth in NCHC play. Laba was a -1 and 11-12 on faceoffs.

Zakary Karpa was scoreless as his Harvard Crimson lost 4-1 to Union in ECAC play. Karpa’s only stat was that he was 13-7 on his faceoffs.

Covering New York Ranger prospects since 2004, I have covered every Ranger prospect drafted over that time. I was lucky enough to have been trained by former Boston Bruins GM Harry Sinden having completed the NHL GM and Scouting Course taught at Sports Management Worldwide as well as the late EJ McGuire who was the director of the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau and was the former coach of the AHL's Hartford Wolfpack
