Prospect Spotlight

Gracyn Sawchyn

The Florida Panthers second-round pick (63rd overall) has not missed a beat since being traded from the Seattle Thunderbirds to the Edmonton Oil Kings last month.

In his first nine games with Edmonton, the 18-year-old Alberta native has registered 11 points (four goals, seven assists).

Coming off a WHL championship and point-per-game season with 58 points (18 goals, 40 assists) in 58 games in 2022-23, Sawchyn has notched 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists) in 26 games so far this season and is on pace to set new career highs for goals, assists and points.

Justin Sourdif

It is tough to top the recent stretch the Charlotte Checkers forward has been on.

In the last two games, Sourdif has had back-to-back three-point nights, including most recently a two-goal game in which he scored the overtime winner against the San Jose Barracuda on Jan. 16.

On the season, the Panthers’ speedy third-round pick (87th overall) has put up 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) in 27 games, already topping his goal mark from a year ago.
