LA Kings Weekly Prospect Tracker, Week Ending October 30, 2022: Juniors, NCAA, Europe, ECHL

October 31, 2022 By Nick Lopez

Welcome back Kings fans to another season of Mayors Manor prospect coverage. It’s time to begin our lap around the globe and check in on prospects playing in the CHL, the USHL, the NCAA, the various different European leagues, and the ECHL. The following reports are from games played through end of day Sunday, October 30th.

JUNIOR HOCKEY

CHL-OHL

Francesco Pinelli, Kitchener Rangers, Center (42nd overall in 2021)

2022-2023 Stats: 9 goals, 6 assists, even plus/minus, 11 PIM in 10 games played

Pinelli had an extremely productive week, scoring three goals and three assists across a trio of games. He is in a five-way tie for second in goal-scoring in the OHL and leads his team in points.

Kaleb Lawrence, Owen Sound Attack, Right Wing (215th overall in 2022)

2022-2023 Stats: 3 goals, 2 assists, plus-2, 11 PIM in 6 games played

Lawrence’s return from injury was much needed for the Attack, as the big man scored twice in a comeback victory over the Colts. His first would come from a tip-in, while his second would be a close-range one-timer fired into the far side of the net. The Attack would win all three games played this week.
