It’s been a rough year for Turcotte as he has battled through injuries, again. After missing 15 games due to a knee injury, Turcotte returned to the lineup and immediately made an impact for an Ontario Reign team that was in the midst of a 10-game losing streak. His skating and playmaking looked good and he wasn’t out of place. He recorded a primary assist in each of the three games he played in since returning from injury. As in the past, health is going to be a big factor for him going forward.
Here’s how the rest of the pipeline fared:
Overseas players:
- Kirill Kirsanov: No games played
- Alexander Dergachyov: 0 G, 0 A, 0 Pts, +/- 0, 0 SOG in two games
- Bulat Shafigullin: No games played
- Kasper Simontaival: 0 G, 0 A, 0 Pts, +/- 0, 13 SOG in two games
- Aatu Jamsen: 0 G, 2 A, 2 Pts, +1, 3 SOG in two games
- Otto Salin: 2 G, 1 A, 3 Pts, +1, 9 SOG in four games
🚨 Mestiksen viikon pelaajaksi valittu Otto Salin jatkaa pistetehtailua myös pudotuspeleissä!

Hearing #LAKings prospect Alex Laferriere is also leaving Harvard to sign after his sophomore season. He edged #Flames first-round pick Matt Coronato in scoring this year.
Laferriere is expected to burn the first year of his deal and play games for the Kings this regular season.
