The Toronto Maple Leafs prospect team finished out the Traverse City Prospect Tournament  on Monday afternoon with a 2-0-2 record after their 7-6 overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. (Scores on pointstreak.com)

That record was good enough to place the Toronto Maple Leafs second among the five teams participating in the tournament.  The standings were as follows:

  1. Columbus Blue Jackets 4-0-0
  2. Toronto Maple Leafs 2-0-2
  3. St. Louis Blues 1-2-1
  4. Detroit Red Wings 1-3-0
  5. Dallas Stars 1-3-0

Both of Toronto’s OT losses came to the first place Columbus Blue Jackets prospects (4-3, 7-6).  The Leafs prospects won in overtime against the St. Louis Blues prospects 4-3 and blew out the Dallas Stars prospects 7-3.

I was really looking forward to seeing what Alex Steeves would be able to accomplish in this tournament after having such an amazing development camp.  Unfortunately, he sat out after suffering a shoulder injury in the first game.  He did score a goal before the injury though and is listed as day-to-day.

There were a few Toronto Maple Leafs prospects that really stood out during tournament:

Mikhail Abramov recorded 6 points in 4 games to put him in a tie for second most points in the tournament.  His 5 assists were tied for most in the tournament.

Ian Scott had the second best save percentage (.901) and third best goals against average (3.47) in the tournament.  He played the first two games for the Toronto Maple Leafs prospects and had the best stats of any goaltender in the tournament to play more than one game.

Joseph Duszak was tied for the tournament scoring lead among defensemen with his 5 points in 4 games.  He was tied for 5th overall in the tournament points rankings as well.

Semyon Der-Arguchintsev was also tied for 5th overall in the tournament points rankings with 3 goals and 5 points in 4 games.

Matt Hellickson led all defenseman in the tournament in goals with 3 goals and 4 points in 4 games.

Jeremy McKenna had a point per game with 3 goals and 4 points in 4 games, as did Nick Robertson with 2 goals and 4 points in 4 games, and Curtis Douglas with 4 points in 4 games.

Overall, it was a very successful tournament for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it servers as a primer for the main attraction, which is the beginning of Training Camp.  The Leafs haven’t announced the roster for camp yet, but you can be sure that several players  improved their chances of getting an invite this weekend.
