With the American Hockey League regular season down to its final two-plus weeks, some NHL teams have opted to send top prospects with NHL experience to their AHL affiliates to face the pressure and scrutiny that comes with the push to the Calder Cup Playoffs.Here is a look at five players who will be counted on by their AHL teams down the stretch: William Eklund, San Jose (San Jose Sharks) The Sharks could have opted to keep Eklund on their roster for the rest of the regular season.

American Thanksgiving is often a sort of mile-marker in the hockey season, the time when things shift from "early season" to "the thick of things," making now a good time to reflect on some performances thus far.The Boston Bruins ' fantastic start to the 2022-23 season has been a pleasant surprise, given the team's list of injured players at the outset.

Bruins "Even better to share it with the guys I have here."It seemed like a matter of when - not if - as far as the chances of David Pastrnak joining the 50-goal club with the Bruins.After all, the 26-year-old winger has already come close to joining the select company of black-and-gold skaters with 50+ tallies on their resume.

Bruins David Pastrnak also recorded his 600th career point on his record-setting tally.David Pastrnak joined some esteemed company on Sunday evening.The Bruins winger scored his 50th goal of the season just 4:43 into the first period of Sunday's matchup against the Hurricanes at PNC Arena, becoming just the sixth player in franchise history to light the lamp 50 or more times in a single campaign.

Here we are - 24 games into the season, just past the quarter mark of what has been an exceptionally up-and-down season.The quarter mark, in my mind, is where statistics and performances start becoming meaningful.It's where legitimate trends can be identified, which makes it an interesting point for analysis.

The Leafs need a goalie again, or so it seems from the depth chart:
Matt Murray: played one game, got hurt in a practice and his return is said to be "on the horizon".He only just started skating at the end of last week, so it seems unlikely he'll ride up by this weekend.Ilya Samsonov: hurt his knee in a game on November 5, had not yet had an MRI as of the time of writing, and is out at least through the coming weekend.

Last season I wrote a monthly piece about players from the Maple Leafs organization who left in the off-season and how they performed monthly with their new teams.I wrote about players like Zach Hyman, Frederik Andersen, Nick Foligno, Zach Bogosian, and some others.This season, I'll be following former Maple Leafs, Jack Campbell, Ilya Mikheyev, Petr Mrazek, Ilya Lyubushkin, Colin Blackwell, and Ondrej Kase.

Welcome to the NHL, Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith!He might be in the NHL for real next weekend, too, but for now, it's last year's surprise hero Erik Källgren who has to step up.He survived a period last night that included a somewhat scary shift late.Can he get the win tonight against Frederik Andersen?
