Prospect Info: April 2: Alexei Kolosov has joined AHL Phantoms (Goalie, 2021 draft pick); played April 13

It would benefit Kolosov to hang around LHV to see how things shake out with goaltending in the system. Fedotov might not be a lock for the back up job in Philly. The guy certainly is big and takes up a lot of space. Decent use of the glove and blocker. However he doesn't move that quickly in any direction. When the puck is at his feet, he doesn't track it that well. Fedotov might need more time to get his game to work in NA.
If Fedotov we're to go to LHV to work on his game, who would come up, Makiniemi or Kolosov?

I mean... isn't it good to have such a (relatively speaking) problem?

I don’t trust Lappy to handle Kolosov the right way. He’s going to give Peterson a majority of the starts

Peterson is on the last year of his deal. Kolosov and Makiniemi should be the two goalies getting time at LHV in case one of them need to be called up. Peterson can go to Reading or home for all that it matters. He hit the bank. Time for him to carry on with the rest of his life

Briere says Abols can speak Russian, so Kolosov has someone to talk to. Also says Kolosov actually can understand English better this year, just struggles speaking it.
