Another week has passed and some of the Rangers prospects have been busy while some have not had a choice, having sustained injuries. Ryan Bourque, Dan Maggio and Randy McNaught have all recently joined Andrew Yogan on the sidelines. Particularly frustrating is the minor injury to Bourque. Having started his year with 4 points in 4 games Bourque has hit a minor speed bump in his season. Bourque was slowed by several minor injuries last year and these kind of injuries will keep the doubters saying he’s too small to progress to the NHL. Bourque needs to get healthy and put together a prolonged series of healthy, productive games.
Of those prospects that are healthy it’s the same players that started the season on fire that are still doing the business. Christian Thomas in particular cannot stop scoring. Thomas has already hit double figures for the season and has 10 goals and 15 points in just 8 games. Almost as impressive as his 10 goals is his + 10 rating. Playing on a good Oshawa side, Thomas looks like a great 2nd round pick.
Roman Horak may have started to slow down from his torrid start but he’s still contributing offensively. Horak has 13 points (6+7) in 8 games for his Chilliwack Bruins of the WHL. The Bruins currently stand third in their division with a 5-4 record after 9 games. Meanwhile Ethan Werek has made a solid start to his year personally with 10 points in 6 games. Werek’s 6 goals and 10 points have his Kingston side 3rd, right behind Thomas’ Generals, in the East division in the OHL.
Another play who has continued his excellent start to the year is goalie Scott Stajcer. Stajcer has backstopped Owen Sound with unreal numbers of 7-0-0, a 1.86GAA and a .943 save percentage. Stajcer has really stepped up a notch or two this year. To put his numbers into context, his back up has a 4.00GAA and an .830 save percentage so it doesn’t seem Stajcer is just a case of playing behind a strong team.
