#1: Provorov was the most impressive of the prospects
So far in the preseason, Ivan Provorov has played in three games. Only one of those games was televised so that all fans could watch and evaluate the team's blue chip defenseman prospect, and of course, that was Provorov's worst (but still good!) game. By all accounts, he was one of the best players on the ice during Monday's split squad contest in Newark, and last night, he yet again was fantastic.
