Any idea if he's driving the play on those assists?

First goal, Zary strips the puck off an Amerks player retreating behind the net, passes it out front to the slot, right to his teammate (Caedan Bankler-who is pegged to go in the 2nd round of this years draft) for the goal. After that, the highlights cut out.

Two of his assists were primary, two were not, but he always looks super dangerous in the highlights, he has the puck ALOT, and he's always ahead of the play. Very high IQ.

Apr 13:
Saint John beats Acadie-Bathurst 9-2. Francis was first star with 3 goals, and 3 assists,+5. 31gp/16g/32a/48pts,+6.
Poirier had no points, +1.

Wolf stops 24 of 28 in a 4-3 loss to Spokane. 1.70GAA, .941%

Apr 14:
Zary with 2 secondary assists,+1 in a 5-0 win over Prince George. 8gp/3g/13a/16pts,+7. Zary is tied for 27th in scoring, but only because he's played a fraction of the games as the players ahead of him. The only other player in the top-30 that has 2ppg is draft-elligible Dylan Guenther.

Zary's teammate, Caedan Bankier (not "Bankler", as it's spelled on many draft simulations) had a goal and an assist, for 9pts in 8g. He's pegged to go in the second or third round of this year's draft. Interestingly enough, he's listed as being 6'2" on the Blazers website, which would make him a bit more attractive than the 6'0"he's listed at on most other sites (he's a W and C).

As far as I can tell (please let me know if I missed any), here's a list of all the Flames prospects in Calgary history who have had 2.0 points per game in the CHL:

-Connor Zary (2021)
-Sam Bennett (2015, only 11 games played that year)
-Sven Baertschi (2012)
Huge Gap
-Jarome Iginla (1996)
-Darryl LaFrance (1995)
Large Gap
-Theoren Fleury (1988)
-Gary Roberts (1986, though only for one of the two OHL teams he played for that year)
-Brian Bradley (1984)
-Dann Quinn (1983)
-Jeff Vaive (1982)
-Bruce Eakin (1982, his 167 points in 66 games is the best-ever for a Flames prospect)
-Denis Cyr (1980)

All of them except Vaive and LaFrance played in the NHL. Most of them were pretty decent players. Hopefully Zary can keep it up.

There's Hnat Domenichelli in 95-96, although he was technically a Whalers prospect....
