Eight New York Rangers prospects played on Saturday as several NCAA players closed their regular seasons. Five CHL prospects are down to their final stretch, with most holding nine games left and one holding eleven.
Aspinall Named Second Star in Flint Shootout Win
Flint captain Nathan Aspinall earned the game’s second star with a 1‑1‑2 night in a 4‑3 shootout win over Ottawa. He opened the scoring with a primary assist on Brady Smith’s first‑period goal.
Ottawa answered with two goals to take a 2‑1 lead. Aspinall tied the game with a power‑play goal at 6:14 of the third period. He moved down from the right point, took a cross‑ice pass, and hammered a one‑timer from the circle.

Aspinall also scored in the shootout. He is 29‑52‑81, which leads all Rangers prospects and ranks second in OHL scoring.
Greentree Extends Streak as Windsor Blanks Barrie
Windsor forward Liam Greentree posted a 1‑1‑2 line in a 3‑0 win over Evan Passmore’s Barrie Colts. His assist came on a second‑period power‑play goal.
Greentree added an empty‑net goal for his 33rd of the season. He is now 33‑28‑61 with a +13 rating. His three‑game goal streak includes six goals, which should draw attention for OHL player of the week honors.
Henricks, Emery Close NCHC Season in Tight OT Finish
Western Michigan’s Ty Henricks and North Dakota’s E.J. Emery were scoreless in WMU’s 4‑3 overtime win. The game closed the NCHC regular season for both teams.
Emery finished his sophomore season with a 3‑6‑9 line. Henricks ended his sophomore year at 9‑13‑22. Both set new career highs in goals and points.
North Dakota enters the NCHC playoffs as the top seed and will host Omaha. WMU is the third seed and will host Colorado College. Both series are best‑of‑three.
Barnhill, Michigan State Survive 13‑Round Shootout
Michigan State defenseman Sean Barnhill was scoreless in a 3‑3 tie with Ohio State. The Spartans earned the extra point after a 13‑round shootout.
Michigan State sits two points behind Michigan with two games left. They can clinch a third straight Big Ten regular‑season title with three points next week.
Fortescue, Boston College Fall Again to Boston University
Boston College defenseman Drew Fortescue went scoreless in an 5‑1 loss to Boston University. He finished the night at minus‑2 with two shots.
BC is fighting to hold second place in Hockey East. The Eagles lead UConn by one point with two games remaining.
Larsson Misses Regular‑Season Finale for Robert Morris
Robert Morris defenseman Rasmus Larsson missed the regular‑season finale, continuing his recent absence. He has played only 16 games this season and is 1‑1‑2.
Robert Morris finished third in Atlantic Hockey. The Colonials will host sixth‑seeded Air Force in a best‑of‑three series starting Friday.
