Joe Faust was briefly sent back to Adirondack for 2 games last week. He added an assist, -2, and 5 shots to his season totals.
Prospect of the Week
Though he is technically an ADevil now, I'm going to choose Nick Lappin as prospect of the week. Here is John's post on Lappin shortly after the signing was announced. The newest Devils prospect is off to a nice start in Albany with 2 goals and 9 shots after 3 games. Lappin played for Brown University for 4 years, scoring 51 goals and 55 assists in 123 games (0.86 Pts/GP). This past season he led Brown in goals (17), points (33), shots per game (4.55), and Goals Created (13.25). His shots per game rate is currently ranked 3rd in the country. SBN College Hockey ranked him as the 13th best NCAA free agent available this spring and the 93rd best NHL prospect on their Top 100 list. Here's what they had to say:
Lappin is a tough two-way forward with good scoring touch. He can play a grinding physical game, and should be able to chip in some offense when needed.
ADevil of the Week
Jim O'Brien picks up this week's honors after notching 2 goals and 4 assists in in 3 games last week. He is currently 3rd among Albany players in even strength scoring with 22 EV points. O'Brien is also above the 75th percentile in points per game and goals per game according to Quant Hockey.
Prospects on TV
Friday 3/18: Hockey East Semifinal: Boston College (Santini, Wood, Dudek) vs. Northeastern on NBCSN at 8 PM. The Hockey East Championship game will be on Saturday night (3/19) on NBCSN at 7 PM.
