He had some games where he had shutouts and he had a game where he was left in for all nine goals,” Groulx said. And, it doesn’t stop there because the club also has 2019 second-round pick Mads Sogaard with Medicine Hat in the WHL.When Ottawa general manager Pierre Dorion, chief scout Trent Mann and Groulx look at the prospects in net, they’re thrilled.“We’re in a situation, and this is something we discussed with Pierre and Trent when I first came into the job, we don’t want to have just one guy,” said Groulx in a video chat with this newspaper Thursday morning.

Smith noted Hogberg was a nice surprise because he was able to show he can play at the NHL level.Thrust into the job with the Senators in December because of injuries to Anderson and Nilsson, Hogberg, 25, only had an okay start with the club’s AHL affiliate but improved his game through the season and is ready to step into the role as the backup in 2020-21.Hogberg had a 5-8-8 record in 24 appearances with a .904 save-percentage when the pause took place, and signed to a one-way contract for next season, he’s ready for the next step.“Part of his progress is his willingness to learn every day,” Groulx said. He needed to play in the American league. “He’d make a mistake on one goal or one play and then we’d look at it on video or work at on the ice and understand that, ‘Okay, I’ve got to do that. He’s a great kid, he wants to learn, I think with him it’s just taking a little longer than we anticipated but he’s still on the right track.“He’s there, he’s close and he’s on the cusp.”.He started the season with the ECHL’s Brampton Beast and then finished in Belleville because of the injuries in Ottawa. “(Coach) Jake Grimes was hoping to get into the playoffs with (Mandolese) because we felt with him they had a real shot of winning.”.Mandolese will start next season in the ECHL and that will give him the opportunity to play, but Groulx said Rob Mouland, who works with prospects, and the club’s nutritionist deserve credit for helping to get a contract because they helped Madolese make the right approach off the ice.Naturally, at 6-foot-7, Sogaard is hard to miss and the Senators thought highly of the Danish goalie so they selected him No. Whether unrestricted free agent Craig Anderson returns next season or not, it’s good news for the club’s goalie coach.Not only do the Senators have Anders Nilsson and Marcus Hogberg signed to deals for next season, they’ve got top prospects Filip Gustavsson (Belleville, AHL), Joey Daccord (Belleville) and Kevin Mandolese (Cape Breton, QMJHL) under contract as well. His understanding and willingness to get better allowed him to prove to himself he’s an NHL goalie.“With his size and his athletic ability, he’s also learned a lot from Craig because of the way he handles the game, and just to put every little par of his game in action, he became a guy that belongs in the NHL and showed that he can play. https://www.nhl.com/news/ottawa-senators-prospect-watch/c-308551436 Yeah, some people might say we have too many goalies.

We ask you to keep your comments relevant and respectful. 1 job in the AHL.The expectation is those two will go head-to-head in training camp next season and Daccord had solid numbers with a 15-6-2 record in 24 appearances, a 2.61 GAA and a .915 save-percentage.“Joey’s got a good sense of self-confidence. It’s unfortunate the rest of the Canadian Hockey League season was cancelled because the 6-foot-4 Mandolese had a chance to lead his team to a title.“He found maturity and character of being that leader for his junior team and he developed into being one of the top goalies in the Q,” said Groulx. He was humming along and he just needs more time in junior to get his game just like Mandolese did this year.“With the cancellation of their season, I’d like to see (Sogaard) go back and push his team to the playoffs and push his team to the championships. He had a 15-6-3 record with a .889 save-percentage and 3.23 goals-against average in 24 games with Belleville.“Deep down he’s probably one of the best technical goalies we have and it’s just been a slow progression and some goalies progress faster than others,” Groulx added. “More time in the East Coast league early would have been great for Gus, but we had so many injuries at the time we couldn’t allow ourselves to do that. They have a lot of strong prospects, and being led by Thomas Chabot and Brady Tkachuk provides a foundation for winning. Having said that, he’s wide open, he wants to get better and he wants to strive to be at the NHL level.“He’s an active goaltender and sometimes we have to calm him down a bit and get him to realize that less is more sometimes.”.Groulx said the two months in Brampton to start the year helped Daccord develop and served as a good reminder of the hard work it takes.“He had some highs and lows.
