Leading off this week's roundup, Denver Pioneers F Drew Shore has signed a contract with the Florida Panthers, forgoing his senior year. This move comes as something of a surprise as Shore was widely expected to return to Denver to play with brothers Nick and Quentin in what would have been his final NCAA season. Shore, a 2nd round selection in 2009, has proven to be a talented all-around player who can handle NHL action with his finishing, skating and puck-handling abilities.
While his numbers with Denver are impressive (53 points, with 22 goals, in 42 games), I personally think his predicted upside is far too high for him to achieve.

Jacob Markstrom allowed one goal on 39 shots (.974 Sv%).
Abbotsford Heat 6, San Antonio Rampage 5
The Rampage lose a heart-breaker in the Abbotsford rematch. The Rampage took a 3-1 lead in the first period with goals from Greg Rallo, James Wright, and Wacey Rabbit. The Heat cut the lead to one goal in the second, with Bracken Kearns answering back two minutes later on the powerplay. However, Abbotsford would score four straight goals to take the lead. Sean Sullivan scored his first goal with the Rampage since his return answering back a minute after the final goal, but Abbotsford skated away with the win.

As of March 26th, the Rampage are in a four-way tie for sixth with a 35-27-3-2 (75 points) and fourth in the West Division.
