Defenseman Reilly Walsh is second on the team in points with forty-one and is having a strong second half of the season. In sixty-eight games he has twenty-five goals and thirty-three assists for fifty-eight points and ranks ninth in the AHL in shots with 211. If Holtz and Halonen do return, they will rejoin an offense led by Graeme Clarke who is having a breakout season. Daws has been solid for the Comets over the past month and a half, as he has allowed one goal or less in five of his last seven games. That’s good news for Comets goaltenders, and with the recall of Akira Schmid to the New Jersey Devils, it will be Nico Daws guarding the Comet’s net. Utica is eighth in the AHL in shot suppression, allowing only 28.92 per game.
As a result, leading point scorer Anthony Richard and power-play goals leader Joël Teasdale are back with Rocket for the Calder Cup Playoffs. This prolific offense has received reinforcements from the NHL parent club of the Rocket, the Montreal Canadiens, but did not qualify for the NHL Playoffs. Laval also leads the league in shots per game, averaging 34.26 per contest. Their success is based on their scoring prowess – they have the AHL’s second-most potent offense, averaging 3.58 goals per game. The Rocket is entering the playoffs on a tear – winners of eight of their last nine games including four in a row to close out the regular season. If true, it would be a massive boost for the Comets as both have been out of the lineup for the past few weeks. They are 4-4-2-0 over their last ten games, and according to Ben Birnell of the Daily Sentinel, they could get both Alexander Holtz and Brian Halonen back for the series against Laval. 🎟: /pYwzg1duVB- x – Utica Comets April 16, 2023Īlthough they struggled in March and into April, the Comets finished the regular season with a two-game winning streak.
