• 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:
CALEN ADDISON -- The Lethbridge defenseman has had a scoring resurgence in the WHL playoffs and was the No. 1 star of the Hurricanes' 5-4 OT win at Red Deer in Game 3 of the series. Addison finished with a goal and two assists. His first assist was the lone helper on a power-play goal at 19:42 of the second period for a 3-2 lead. He later helped set up a goal to go up 4-2 and 12:29 of the third, but he saved his best for last, delivering the winner 38 seconds into OT. He has points in all three playoff games -- a goal and four assists. (Note: Sixth appearance on this list in 2017-18)
GABRIEL FORTIER -- Baie-Comeau's Fortier scored two goals and won 13 of 20 face-offs in his team's 4-2 playoff win over Halifax. The game's No. 2 star scored his first goal at 0:58 of the second period, cutting the lead to 2-1. He later closed the scoring with a goal at 18:01 of the third. That gave him three goals and four points in three playoff games, as well as an overall five-game QMJHL point streak. (Note: Ninth appearance on this list in 2017-18)
JAKE INGHAM -- Mississauga's goaltender came through with 24 saves in a 2-1 playoff win over Barrie, earning No. 3 star honors.
