Blake Coleman was held without a point in 2 games for Miami against Denver. He did manage 6 shots and won 19 of 36 faceoffs in the weekend series. His shots per game rate is a solid 3.57 and his 62.26 FO% ranks 2nd in the country, but I was still hoping for more than a 0.80 points per game rate from the senior.
Blake Pietila was held scoreless over 2 games for Michigan Tech against Minnesota State. He had 7 shots and won 25 of 40 faceoffs in the weekend set. Like Coleman, I was hoping for Pietila to produce more than a 0.76 points per game rate in his senior season.
Alexander Kerfoot was also held off the scoresheet in games against Quinnipiac and Princeton this weekend. He had 4 shots and won 18 of 35 faceoffs for Harvard. He's riding a really high 15.56 SH% in just 20 games but it's nice to see one Devils NCAA prospect over the point per game threshold. Harvard will take on Brown in a best of 3 series in the 1st round of the ECAC playoff.
Steve Santini was a -2 with 2 blocks, and 5 shots over 2 games against Notre Dame for Boston College. BC will be off next weekend as they have a bye into the Hockey East Quaterfinals. Joshua Jacobs was a -2 with 2 blocks, and 4 shots in 2 games against Minnesota for Michigan State.

Artur Gavrus played in Dinamo Minsk's regular season finale against Dynamo Moscow on Tuesday, going a -1 with a faceoff win in 14:07 of ice time. Since then he hasn't featured in Dinamo's playoff series with Jokerit, instead being sent to junior hockey and Dinamo-Shinnik to help their playoff run. They are currently trailing the series 2-0 with Gavrus being a -2 with 12 PIM, 3 shots, and 30/41 faceoffs over the 2 games.
Joey Dudek only played in one game for Dubuque this weekend, going a -1 with 2 PIM, and 2 shots. He has gone 8 games without a point and was likely a healthy scratch against Waterloo on Saturday. His season has been a disappointment and you have to wonder if he's really ready to play for Boston College next year.
One prospect who is ready for Boston College - though he should've been there this year - is Miles Wood. He currently has 16 goals and 18 assists in 16 games for Nobles. They will start their tournament on Wednesday.

A Nice Return: Scott Timmins made his long awaited return from a leg injury and produced right away with a goal and an assist over 2 games. He's a guy that I had my eye on after last year he finished above the 75th percentile in points per game and goals per game according to Quant Hockey, and is on his way to repating that this year. I think he could be an intriguing call up option to see what he has at the next level, though he does have 24 NHL games to his credit at 25 years old.
Solid: Kelly Zajac has been fairly solid since returning from injury for Albany. He has 6 points over his last 6 games and 13 points in 23 games this season.
Coming Back Into Form: Raman Hrabarenka was held off the scoresheet in his first 6 games since missing 2 months due to a concussion and fractured cheekbone. The big RD now has 4 assists over his last 3 games. With the trade of Marek Zidlicky, I wonder if the NJ Devils will give Hrabarenka a look before the end of the season.
Still Struggling: Reid Boucher has just 2 goals over his last 25 games. He has 7 assists during that stretch. Boucher has a 3.03 SH% and 2.64 SH/GP over that time. Hopefully some of those shots start to go in.
Coming Around: Stefan Matteau is now on a 4 game scoring streak with 2 goals and 2 assists during that time after going 10 games without a point. His goal on Friday snapped a 12 game drought.
Coming Up: Albany will take on St. John's in a back-to-back series on Friday and Saturday.

Prospect of the Week
With a goal and 3 assists in 3 games, Ryan Kujawinski picks up this week's honors. He is currently on a 4 game scoring streak and is over a point per game since joining North Bay. According to CHLStats which has his data thru 51 games, he has a NHLe of 22, goals created per game of 0.398, and an estimated 2.37 points per 60 minutes.
ADevil of the Week
Mike Sislo gets this week's honors with 3 goals and an assist over 3 games. The 27 year old currently ranks 3rd on the team in goals and points. According to Quant Hockey he is once again above the 75th percentile in points per game for the second straight season. Last year he came in just under the 95th percentile in goals per game and he is just above it this season. I'd really like to see him get some more games in NJ before the end of the year.
Prospects on TV
-- Friday 3/6: Miami (Coleman) vs. North Dakota on CBS SN at 6:30 PM ET.
-- Sunday 3/8: Drummondville (Brodeur) vs. Blainville-Boisbriand on the NHL Network at 3:00 PM ET.
Your Take
Are you concerned with Quenneville's lack of goal scoring or are you content that he's still getting his assists? Do you feel Coleman and Pietila are having underwhelming senior seasons? What are your thoughts on Albany's offensive outburst and the returning players like Timmins, Kelly Zajac, and Hrabarenka making an impact? Do you think it's a matter of time before Boucher starts to get some puck luck? Leave your comments below and thank you for reading!
