<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the Apr. 7–13 edition of the Flames prospect roundup, where we look at how Calgary Flames prospects did this past week, specifically those at the junior and college levels. The American Hockey League prospects have their own article in the Wranglers recaps.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s take a look at the week that was!</span></p>
<h2>Matvei Gridin</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Matvei Girdin and the Shawinigan Cataractes started a best-of-seven series against the Sherbrooke Phœnix on Friday, defeating them 5-4 in Game 1. Gridin was held off the scoresheet and finished the game with a -2 and a shot on goal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He had a better game in Saturday’s Game 2, picking up his fifth goal of the postseason in what was a 5-2 defeat to take a 2-0 series lead. Through seven games this postseason, Gridin has five goals and 11 points, fifth in Québec Maritimes Junior Hockey League point scoring and tied for third in goals.</span></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s a solid chance that by this time next week, the series will be over. They’ll head to Sherbrooke for Games 3 and 4 on Tuesday and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. MT, respectively. If needed, Game 5 returns to Shawinigan on Friday at 5:00 p.m. MT and a potential Game 6 would be on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. MT.</span></p>
<h2>Andrew Basha</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was reported by </span><a href="https://x.com/ReporterTubb/status/1903627952388214912"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Medicine Hat News’ </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">James Tubb that if the Medicine Hat Tigers go on a deep run, Andrew Basha could return to the lineup</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Well, they’ve had a good start to the second round.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Saturday, they defeated the Prince Albert Raiders 6-4 to take a 1-0 series lead. They followed that up on Sunday with a 5-4 overtime win thanks to Liam Ruck’s second goal of the postseason. Moreover, the consensus first overall pick in the 2026 draft, Gavin McKenna, scored a fantastic goal.</span></p>

<h2>Jacob Battaglia</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jacob Battaglia and the Kingston Frontenacs are in tough against the Barrie Colts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After taking a 2-0 lead in Game 1, with one assist from the Flames’ prospect, the Frontenacs allowed six unanswered goals as the Colts took Game 1 by a score of 6-2. The Frontenacs even led Game 2 in the first period, and had the game tied up at 4-4 in the second period, but the Colts scored three unanswered goals to win that one 7-4. Battalgia had two assists in Game 2.</span></p>

<h2>Henry Mews</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Henry Mews’ Sudbury Wolves were eliminated by Jacob Battaglia and the Kingston Frontenacs in the first round of the Ontario Hockey League postseason.</span></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<h2>Kirill Zarubin</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kirill Zarubin and the Tula Mikhailov Academy were in tough the last time we looked at them in the prospect roundup. In a do-or-die Game 4, they fell 4-3 in overtime and were eliminated from postseason contention.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zarubin didn’t factor into the game as he sat on the bench for the third time in four games. Overall, he finished his 2024-25 season with a .935 save percentage and 2.34 goals against average in 21 games.</span></p>
<h2>Eric Jamieson</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eric Jamieson and the Everett Silvertips seemingly love overtime. After defeating the Seattle Thunderbirds in double overtime to clinch their berth in the second round, both Games 1 and 2 have finished in overtime in favour of the Silvertips.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Game 1 saw the Silvertips win 3-2 thanks to an early goal from Jesse Heslop in the extra frame. Jamieson was held off the scoreboard, finishing with two shots, but his defence partner Landon DuPont, finished with two assists.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Game 2, the Silvertips defeated the Portland Winterhawks 4-3 in overtime. Jamieson was once again held off the scoreboard, finishing with three shots and a +2. Landon DuPont had a goal and an assist, as Julius Miettinen scored the game-winning goal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The series shifts to Portland for Games 3 and 4. Game 3 is on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. MT, Game 4 is the following day at the same time. If needed, the series would return to Everett for Game 5 on Friday at 8:05 p.m. MT, and Game 6 would be in Portland on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. MT.</span></p>
<h2>Étienne Morin</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Étienne Morin and the Moncton Wildcats look unstoppable. In the second round, they’re facing the Baie-Comeau Drakkar, picking up a 7-0 win in the first game. Morin had two assists, one primary and one secondary as the Wildcats won their fifth in a row.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Game 2 was a bit closer, as the Drakkar scored a goal but still fell 4-1. Morin was held off the scoresheet, but was a +2 with a shot on goal. So far this postseason, the left-shot defenceman has a goal and eight points in six games as the Wildcats remain undefeated this postseason.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The series now shifts to Baie-Comeau for Games 3, 4 and 5, the last one if needed. Game 3 is on Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. MT, Game 4 is the following day at the same time. If needed, Game 5 is on Friday at 5:00 p.m. MT.</span></p>
<h2>Axel Hurtig</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Calgary Hitmen are in a hole to begin their best-of-seven series against the Lethbridge Hurricanes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Game 1 saw them fall 4-0 to the Hurricanes, with Flames’ prospect Axel Hurtig being held off the scoresheet with no shots on net. Game 2 was closer, as the Hurricanes defeated the Hitmen 2-1. Hurtig was also held off the scoresheet in this game, but finished with a shot on goal. So far this postseason, the left-shot defenceman has two assists in six games.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Hitmen have to start winning some games. They travel to Lethbridge for Games 3 and 4, with Game 3 being on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. MT, with Game 4 being the following day at the same time. If needed, Game 5 will be on Friday at 7:00 p.m. MT in Calgary and Game 6 will be back in Lethbridge on Saturday at the same time.</span></p>
<h2>Arsenii Sergeev</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All good things must come to an end, including Penn State and Arsenii Sergeev’s Cinderella run to the Frozen Four. Taking on Boston University, the powerhouse went up 2-0 on Sergeev, but they cut the lead early in the third period. Sadly, Penn State was unable to find the game-tying goal and an empty net with a minute left in the game sealed it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sergeev played to his usual standards, saving 30 of 32 shots for a .938 save percentage and 2.03 goals against average in the 3-1 loss. He finished his final collegiate season with a 19-9-4 record with a .919 save percentage and 2.54 goals against average.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Monday, the <a href="https://flamesnation.ca/news/flames-sign-2021-seventh-rounder-arsenii-sergeev-to-two-year-elc">Flames announced that Sergeev has signed his entry-level contract with them</a> and will begin his professional career next season, likely with the American Hockey League’s Calgary Wranglers.</span></p>
