Biggest Standouts

Playing his final year in the NCAA for Clarkson University, Kelly Summers is doing his best to earn an entry-level contract at season’s end. The 21-year-old defenceman is making a case thus far, with his seven points in 10 games on pace to break his previous record of 17 in 39.

Summers scored his second goal of the season this weekend and added two more assists, all of which came on the power play. His 15 shots on goal leads all defencemen on his team, while also blocking 12 at the other end of the ice. Known primarily as a transition defender, it’s nice to see him picking up some offence.

The Sens’ 3rd round pick in 2014, Gendron is known more as a defensive defenceman with good skating ability. With five points in his first nine games, however, he’s looking to top his previous high of 11 in 35. His point-per-game weekend is not generally what you’d expect from a player of his type, although his coach made the interesting move to play him as a 4th line winger. The decision appears to be paying off early, scoring a goal and an assist in UConn’s 1-1 weekend split.

Joel Daccord

Rounding out the trio of NCAA standouts is Joel Daccord, who’s been having an up and down year with Arizona State University. The beginning was very rough, dropping 4+ goals on a regular basis. He’s starting to pick it back up, however, stopping 46 of 50 shots playing games on back-to-back nights. He also stopped 46 of 47 shots in a game against Colgate last week, so things are looking up for the young netminder.

After appearing in only 15 games last season splitting the starts with two other goalies, Daccord has taken the full reigns. In Arizona’s 10 games, Daccord has started nine of them.
