Top Forward: Mike Hoffman (75gp 22g 33a 55pts)
Top Defenseman: Erik Karlsson (75gp 15g 53a 68pts)
Top Rookie: Fredrik Claesson (26gp 2g 8a 10pts)
Top Goaltender: Craig Anderson (22 wins 2.30GAA .927 save percentage)
Player of the Week: G Mike Condon (1gp 1w 0.92GAA .971 save percentage)
The Senators put up a .500 week last week going 1-1-1 earning three of a possible six points. This is good for a team sitting second in the Atlantic. Kyle Turris carried the Sens offensively last week while both Craig Anderson and Mike Condon were solid.
Condon only played in one game but in doing so earned himself a 1-0-0 record and a blistering .971 save percentage with a 0.92 goals-against-average. Anderson wasn’t as good but was still pretty solid despite the 0-1-1 record. He had a .915 save percentage with a 2.44 goals-against-average. Turris had himself a three point week while finishing as a plus one. Both Erik Karlsson and Mike Hoffman combined for four points and a plus-one rating as well. The Sens have a tough start to this week but it finishes off quite smoothly as they play Minnesota, Winnipeg, and then back to back games against Detroit.
Weekly Prospect Profile: Filip Ahl, Regina (WHL)
2016-17 stats: 54gp 28g 20a 48pts
Filip Ahl played his first season in North America this year for the Regina Pats in the WHL. And in doing so did quite good putting up 48 points in 54 games. He’s a highly skilled winger that possesses all the offensive attributes to succeed, what’s also great is the fact that he’s just as good defensively.
