Plante scored twice on four shots and added two assists in the University of Minnesota-Duluth's 7-3 win over Bemidji State University.
EDGE Analysis
Plante has been a leader for Duluth this year, racking up five goals and five assists in five games. He had 28 points in 23 outings as a freshman in 2024-25, so this burst of offense is no surprise. The Red Wings prospect, a second-round pick from 2024, will likely be another year or two from going pro, but he plays a strong puck possession game and has displayed a better-than-expected scoring touch in college.

Emery scored twice on three shots in the University of North Dakota's 5-2 win over the University of Minnesota on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Emery was limited to a single assist in 31 appearances for North Dakota last year. His two-goal effort is therefore a bit unexpected, but it's a positive sign that he's made some gains on offense. In any case, the 19-year-old blueliner's a shutdown defender in the making, which will be more valuable on the ice than in fantasy.

James scored twice on six shots in the University of North Dakota's 5-2 win over the University of Minnesota on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
James is up to three goals and an assist through three NCAA games this year. The 22-year-old winger has earned a pair of two-point efforts so far. The Red Wings prospect has yet to display elite offense in college, so this hot start may not last.

Fink scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Penn State's 5-4 overtime win over Long Island University on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Fink has started his junior year of college with two goals and six assists over five games. He stood out last year with 53 points in 40 outings for the Nittany Lions. Fink's stock has steadily gone up at Penn State, though it's unclear if the Predators will consider signing him to an entry-level deal this spring. They hold his signing rights until Aug. 15, 2027, so there's no pressure to make a decision for player or team this year, but he may benefit from linking up with AHL Milwaukee sooner rather than later.

Smith scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Penn State's 5-4 overtime win over Long Island University on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has opened the NCAA season with four points in three games. The 18-year-old made the jump to college after racking up 54 points in 68 regular-season games for WHL Tri-City in 2024-25, which was enough for the Blue Jackets to select him 14th overall in the 2025 Draft. The offense is likely to always be there for Smith, but he'll be looking to improve his defensive game while with the Nittany Lions.

Hagens scored two goals on seven shots in Boston College's 5-1 win over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hagens is off to a decent start for the Eagles this season, racking up five points in four games. The 18-year-old center is a Bruins prospect after being selected seventh overall in 2025. This is his sophomore year, and he was a point-per-game player with 11 goals and 26 helpers in 37 outings in 2024-25.

Lindstrom scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Michigan State's 4-2 win over Boston University on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The No. 3 ranked Spartans pulled off an upset in Boston over the No. 1 ranked Terriers, and Lindstrom's first two collegiate points were a major factor. The 19-year-old linked up with Michigan State in the offseason after battling a back injury that cost him nearly all of his WHL campaign with Medicine Hat in 2024-25. The key for Lindstrom will be staying healthy -- on talent alone, he's got plenty of potential after being the fourth-overall pick in 2024 to join the Blue Jackets' prospect pool.

Horcoff scored a goal on six shots and added two assists in the University of Michigan's 10-2 win over Robert Morris University on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Horcoff has six goals and three assists in just six games for the Wolverines as a sophomore this year. He put up 10 points in 18 outings as a freshman in 2024-25, so it's clear his offense has taken a step up. He continues to be an excellent net-front presence, which will help him pile up goals once he gets to the professional ranks.

RW CAR
Perron scored twice on three shots and added an assist in the University of Michigan's 10-2 win over Robert Morris University on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Nearly every Wolverine was involved on offense, but Perron's performance was among the best. He's up to five points in six games this season after logging a total of 37 points across 70 outings with the University of North Dakota in his first two NCAA seasons. Perron is a Hurricanes prospect who was selected in the third round in 2023.

Ravensbergen recorded a 36-save shutout in WHL Prince George's 5-0 win over Seattle on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ravensbergen improved to 3-2-0 on the season with his first shutout of the campaign. He was one of the top goalie prospects heading into the 2025 NHL Entry Draft despite posting a lackluster 3.00 GAA and .901 save percentage with no shutouts in 51 outings in 2024-25. He was selected 30th overall by the Sharks, who will take their time with Ravensbergen's development since they already have Yaroslav Askarov to lead them from rebuild to contention.
