    Entering the game in relief, SSK’s Jhonas Enroth continued to play like one of the top goaltenders in Europe by making 33 saves in a 4-4 tie with Farjestad. The nationally televised contest saw Linus Klasen give SSK the 1-0 lead just 2:20 in. Farjestad took over from there, out-shooting SSK 14-3 to take a…

    In Sweden, SSK and Farjestad are underway in a battle of SEL playoff contenders. Sabres prospect Jhonas Enroth takes a rest today after three straight wins, giving way to Bjorn Bjurling (EDM) in the SSK crease. While Enroth wants to play as often as possible, it’s probably a good move for Bjurling to get the…

    A night after creasemate Braely Torris posted a 9-0 win over Canmore, Okotoks’ Brad Eidsness continued his dominance in the AJHL by pitching a 34-save shutout of his own versus Brooks. The Sioux recruit is now 23-2-3 on the year with a 1.90 GAA and equally impressive .941 save percentage. Tonight’s shutout was his third…

    Bowling Green’s Nick Eno held his ground through the final forty minutes to earn a key 5-2 road win at Ohio State. The freshman netminder stopped 39 Buckeye shots in all, backstopping his way to a hard-earned ninth win of the season. BGSU coach Scott Paluch would be wise to ride the hand hot tomorrow…

    In DEL action, Philip Gogulla (+2) scored an even-strength marker in the Sharks 7-3 rout of last-place Duisberg. The Dusseldorf native now has seven points in his last three games for Cologne. Felix Schutz went pointless, registering a shot on goal, in Ingolstadt’s 6-4 win over Wolfsburg. The league will enter a ten day break,…

    Nathan Gerbe can’t get any love in the form of a first-place vote on CSTV’s Hobey Watch, but he’s certainly looking good in the eyes of The Hockey News. THN’s Ryan Kennedy placed the Boston College left wing at the top of his latest Hot List, a weekly round-up of prospect happenings. We’re not trying…

    It’s a light night for Sabres prospects, with only Drew Schiestel of Niagara in OHL action against Patrick Kaleta’s old club, the Peteborough Petes. So while sixteen players are taping their sticks and honing their blades in preparation for a busy Friday slate, let’s take a look at a USHL fight clip from December featuring…

    Though it doesn’t matter, it’s worth pointing out that Boston College LW Nathan Gerbe is still without a first-place vote in CSTV’s Hobey Watch. Gerbe was quiet in Friday’s tie at Maine, but scored the game winner in the 4-2 Eagles win the next night. Heading to the stretch, Gerbe’s 1.61 points-per-game leads the nation,…
