Ottawa Senators Prospect Update - October 18th
Even if week one of the NHL season didn’t go quite as planned
Prospect Team of the Week
Forwards
Philippe Daoust
Following up on his Memorial Cup run last season, Daoust started his first proper professional season with two shots, two assists, and his first AHL goal for Belleville:

Oskar Pettersson
Back in junior after a brief stint in Sweden’s highest tier, Pettersson continued to endear himself to Sens fans with a three-assist week for Rögle BK:
🇸🇪Oskar Pettersson had 3A in a 5-4 loss on Sunday

It was an eventful weekend for #32 after he was ejected for fighting on Saturday, earning 25 PIMs in the process. Pettersson has 16 points (8G, 8A) in 12GP so far this season.#GoSensGo #PistolPete @SensCentral pic.twitter.com/iDAG3iqaru
Cole Reinhardt
Now a fixture in Belleville’s forward corps and usually one of coach Mann’s go-to shutdown options, Reinhardt displayed some offensive flair with a four points to start the AHL season:
On the breakaway, shorthanded, first goal of the season.

Defence
Tomas Hamara
Arguably the gem of Ottawa’s 2022 draft class, Hamara maintained his strong start to his North American career with three more assists and five shots for Kitchener this week:

Jake Sanderson
We can debate his status as a prospect or his eligibility for this thread and still get to enjoy watching his first NHL point (against an arch rival no less):

Goaltender
Leevi Meriläinen
After some mixed results in his lone season in North America, Meriläinen seems rejuvenated back in Finland. His win-loss record this week belies the quality of his overall play:

— Sens Prospects (@SensProspects) October 13, 2022
Meriläinen, starting for the second consecutive game, stopped all 20 shots in a 4-0 win for Kärpät. He has a clean 3-0 record and a .912 SV% in 5GP.#GoSensGo pic.twitter.com/kzNuNcvl6r
