Jacob Quillan has shown potential in the AHL but struggled to make a significant impact in the NHL with the Maple Leafs.
Entering Monday's NHL action, the Los Angeles Kings were fourth in the NHL in goals against per game (2.74), tied for eighth in save percentage (.904), ninth in shots against (1,356), and third in goals against (137). While the Kings are struggling to score goals (Los Angeles is 28th in goals for per game), they are getting good performances from their goaltending and their defence.
The revamped NY Islanders prospect pool continues to succeed in their respective 2025-26 campaigns, receiving accolades throughout the season. But this time, it's not one of their high draft picks; instead, a sixth-round defenseman playing in the NCAA. Freshman defenseman Xavier Veilleux of Cornell University was named ECAC Defenseman of the Month for January. The 19-year-old left-hand shot provided three goals and eight assists across 10 contests for the No. 9 Big Red.
We're nearing conference tournament time, which means we're also nearing the time when coaches and players are paying attention to their NPI ranking - and hoping to be part of the NCAA tournament. The good news is it appears the Blackhawks' prospects playing in the college ranks right now are as healthy as they have been in a while.
