Prospect Info: C Noah Ostlund, 16th Overall, 2022 NHL Draft, Assigned to Rochester 4.17.24

How is Ostlund looking? He had 1 point in 10 games now 7 points since coming back from the injury.

Haven't watched any games....
 
He's getting reps as 1C with Rosen a lot (and both Wahlberg and Murray, but also Rousek in place of Rosen). Things are starting to align - looks like he's figuring out the narrower rink size and having less space/time to make plays. He still looks like he's made out of a pipe cleaner and that's going to take a while to overcome. Most of his scoring is coming on the PP which isn't necessarily bad - Rochester was bottom third of the league in PP% going into this last stretch where they have six PP goals over four games (two three goal and two no goal performances). He's been a part of that. It hasn't hurt that Rosen is starting to really hum and he's getting ES time with Rosen, as well as PP time too.
 
The good part is that Ostlund has been productive for about a month. The bad part is Helenius' offense has dried up in that same time.
