Prospect Weekly: The Stretch Run

With only the Colorado Eagles in action this past week as far as prospect highlights are concerned they certainly gave us enough to celebrate.

Jean-Luc Foudy started off this great play to Nick Henry for his third goal of the season.

Foudy got his own goal the next night on this ridiculous rush utilizing his great speed and then finished it off with a backhand shot. He is now currently fourth on the team in scoring or second counting taxi squad absences.

Shane Bowers is up to seven goals on the season, which is good for third on the team. He’s getting a lack for these one touch shots and finding the back of the net with them.

Alex Newhook is keeping his scoring streak alive with goal in both games this weekend. He absolutely loves that spot right at the top of the left circle and has made it work on both the power play and this even strength tally which Sampo Ranta earned an assist on as well.

As the 2020-21 season winds down across the globe another Colorado Avalanche prospect has put a bow on their season. Kärpät got swept in the quarter-finals of the Liiga playoffs and Justus Annunen‘s season in Finland has concluded. It was a trying year for the young netminder as he posted a record of 7-9-7 with a 2.43 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Annunen is now free to cross the pond and join the Colorado Eagles for their remaining nine games if the organization wishes for him to do so. He is already signed to an Entry Level Contract and is currently burning the first year regardless of where he plays so he may as well get some AHL time out of it.
