Looking ahead

2023 or 2024 recruit Macklin Celebrini scored a pair of goals and added an assist as Chicago defeated Madison, 4-1. Jack Harvey the USHL’s top scorer (38 points) recorded his 18th assist.

 

2023 recruit Shane Lachance’s 16th goal, a power-play tally, helped Youngstown defeat Muskegon, 5-1. 2024 recruit Brandon Svoboda recorded an assist for the Phantoms.

►As the USHL goes on break, the top three goal-scorers are future Terriers: Harvey (20) and Celebrini and Lachance (16 apiece). Harvey also is tied for the league lead in assists (18). Celebrini and Lachance are the leaders in power-play goals with nine each.

Looking back

In his 100th NHL game, Jake Oettinger came oh-so-close to a shutout, surrounding an extra-attacker goal with 15 seconds left in regulation, as the Stars edged Columbus, 2-1. Oettinger, who turned 24 Sunday, stopped 27 of 28 shots. He is 54-27-11, the second-most wins in his first 100 games in Stars/Minnesota North Stars history behind Ed Belfour (60)

Evan Rodrigues' shootout tally was the only time a puck found the net as the Avalanche blanked the Islanders, 1-0. Last week, he scored his 60th NHL when he returned to the lineup following an injury. 


Charlie Coyle scored his ninth goal in the Bruins' 7-3 pasting of Florida.


Six of the Arrows’ 12 alums who have reached the NHL are Terriers: Carl Corazzini, Rick DiPietro, Mike Grier, Chris Kelleher, Danny O’Regan and Mike Pandolfo. Corazzini is the head coach at St. Marks. DiPietro is an ESPN hockey analyst and a sports talk radio host. Grier is general manager of the San Jose Sharks. Kelleher is Director of Player Personnel for the Minnesota Wild. O’Regan plays for Anaheim’s AHL team, the San Diego Gulls.
