Prospect Roundup: Maatta, Harrington combine for 3 assists and +4 rating Friday’s 8-2 win

London Knights captain Scott Harrington (TIOPS No. 3 ranked prospect), the Penguins 2011 second round pick, had an assist and was a +3 in the Knights 8-2 win over the Erie Otters in Friday’s regular season opener.

Harrington’s teammate, Olli Maatta (TIOPS No. 4 ranked prospect), the Penguins first round pick in 2012, had 2 assists and a +1 rating in the win. Maatta this week was named an assistant captain for the Knights.

London next plays Sunday afternoon vs Guelph.

Following a strong Canada-Russian series that has a lot of scouts talking about him as a possible rising prospect in the Penguins system, Anton Zlobin (TIOPS No. 22 Ranked Prospect) of the Val-d’Or, Foreurs of the QMJHL, had a strong preseason with 4 goals and 5 assists in four preseason games.

Val-d’Or opened up regular season play last night and Zlobin had an assist in a 4-3 shootout loss to Victoriaville. Zlobin was 0 for 1 in shootout.

Goaltender Matt Murray (TIOPS No. 29 ranked prospect) the Penguins 2012 3rd round pick, started the opener for Sault Ste Marie Friday night and got the win stopping 37 of 42 saves in the Greyhounds 6-5 win over Plymouth.
