Hockey East also announced a partnership with 49ing AG to launch a first-of-its-kind pilot program bringing AI-powered video and data analytics to college hockey for the 2024-25 season.

Looking ahead

2025 recruit Jonathan Morello assisted on three first-period goals as Dubuque completed a sweep of Chicago with a 6-4 win. He also led the team with six shots. With a 2-4-6 line in four pre-season games, the Bruins 2024 draft pick is the Fighting Saints’ top scorer.   Video highlights

2025 recruit Zach Morin scored a goal in Youngstown’s 8-5 win against the NTDP U18s. Fellow recruit Conrad Fondrk had a goal and an assist—both on power plays—for the U18s, while Charlie Trethewey added an assist for Team USA and had a third-period dust-up with future teammate Morin.​

 

As it begins prospect evaluations for the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, Neutral Zone presents a strong assessment of 6'2", 196 lbs. right-shot defenseman Trethewey, projecting him to be a likely top-five pick.

Trethewey projects as a top-pairing, two-way defenseman at the NHL level, capable of playing key minutes in all situations. His ability to impact the game in all three zones, combined with his physicality and high-end puck-moving skills, makes him an enticing prospect with the potential to become a cornerstone defenseman for an NHL team. If he can address the areas for improvement in his game, particularly his lateral mobility and offensive consistency, Trethewey has the potential to develop into a top-five selection in the 2025 NHL Draft and a long-term impact player at the professional level.

►From St. Louis Blues rookie camp, via The Hockey News:

Dylan Peterson -- The third round pick in 2020 had himself another solid prospects game.

Peterson, listed at 6-foot-4, 192 pounds, was once again a menace with his under-the-radar speed, his physical presence in protecting pucks, a solid forecheck and proper puck placement.It was the second straight strong game for the Boston University product, who will attend main camp beginning Thursday.

►In the Rookie Faceoff in El Segundo, Calif., Vinny Duplessis stopped 43 shots for Colorado in a 4-3 loss to Anaheim. 

● The Athletic How did Macklin Celebrini’s Sharks rookie-game teammates assess him? ‘Second to none’

“It’s crazy,” said Ethan Cardwell, a 2021 draft pick who was among the top players for the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda last season. “It’s wild. The way he moves. Even his physical presence himself. He’s a big boy for his age and he skates so well. The way he makes plays and processes the game is second to none. That’s why he went first overall and we’re happy to have him.”
