• PROSPECT-UPDATE ARCHIVE
Well, the Hockey Draft Central home office had a major power-outage in early March. The power came back after a few days, but it took weeks to catch up to the work of daily prospect updates. So, in the spirit of moving along, check out abbreviated versions of each lost day's events.
Unfortunate, no video is available to accompany this all-goaltender day.
JUSTUS ANNUNEN -- Oulu junior goaltender Annunen continued to dominate the Finnish U20 playoffs with 25 saves in a 4-1 win over Helsinki IFK. His strongest period was the third, when he stopped all 10 shots. The victory gave him a third straight win and lifted him to 4-0-1 in the postseason. (Note: 11th appearance on this list in 2017-18)
LUKAS DOSTAL -- It was yet another brilliant game for Dostal, who made 40 saves in Brno's 4-1 win at Prague Sparta that closed out a best-of-5 playoff series sweep in Czech U20 action. The red-hot goaltender stopped all 12 shots in the first period, all 13 in the second, and 15 of 16 in the third. He stopped 121 of 124 shots in the series for a .976 save percentage. (Note: 18th appearance on this list in 2017-18 -- leads all goaltenders)
JAKE INGHAM -- Ingham had a rocky OHL regular season, but he has a chance to redeem himself in the playoffs. The Steelheads goalie got off to a strong postseason start with 32 saves in a 6-2 playoff-opening win at Barrie. Ingham stopped 14 of 15 shots in the first period and 15 of 16 in the second, giving him back-to-back wins. (Note: Fourth appearance on this list in 2017-18)
