Blues Weekly Prospect Report: Bogas and Mrsic Turn in Standout Performances

Several St. Louis Blues prospects are starting to emerge as names to watch, with strong performances across college hockey, junior leagues and overseas. Nick Bogas and Tomas Mrsic headline a strong week, while William McIsaac has made an immediate impact at UConn. Goaltenders Love Härenstam and Marcus Gidlöf also delivered strong performances, and Matvei Korotky continues to lead the prospect pool in points.

Here is a look at the prospects making noise this week.

Nick Bogas

Nick Bogas put together his best offensive performance of the young Ontario Hockey League (OHL) season on Oct. 7, recording a goal and three assists in the Flint Firebirds’ 5-2 win over the Kitchener Rangers.

The four-point night marked a significant step for the young defenseman, who is adjusting to a new team and the demands of junior hockey. Bogas has shown early offensive potential, and this performance gave him a boost as he continues to find his place in Flint’s lineup.

Through six games, Bogas has recorded one goal and four assists for five points. The Blues selected him in the fifth round of the 2026 NHL Draft, and he is committed to Michigan State.

Tomas Mrsic

Tomas Mrsic had a strong performance for Colorado College, scoring twice in a 4-1 exhibition win over the United States National Team Development Program’s Under-18 team on Oct. 9.

The sophomore forward finished with seven shots on goal, showing an ability to generate chances and put pressure on the opposing goaltender. Both goals came in the third period, helping Colorado College pull away late.

Mrsic, selected by the Blues in the fourth round of the 2024 NHL Draft, is continuing to develop his offensive game at the NCAA level. Performances like this are encouraging as he looks to establish himself as a consistent contributor for the Tigers this season.

William McIsaac

William McIsaac wasted little time making his mark at the college level, scoring in his UConn debut on Oct. 9. The freshman defenseman helped the Huskies secure a 3-1 win over No. 17 Penn State, opening their season with an impressive victory.

McIsaac’s goal was also UConn’s first of the season, making the debut even more memorable. Scoring right away is a positive start for the young defenseman as he adjusts to the pace and physicality of NCAA hockey.

The Blues will be encouraged to see McIsaac contribute offensively early in his college career. While one game is only a small sample, getting on the scoresheet immediately gives him something to build on as the season progresses.

Love Härenstam

Goaltender Love Härenstam continues to develop with the Saskatoon Blades, entering the season with a 4-3 record, a .906 save percentage and one shutout. The Blues selected Härenstam in the sixth round of the 2025 NHL Draft.

Härenstam recently turned in an encouraging performance, stopping 21 of 22 shots for a .955 save percentage. That outing showed what he can provide when he is seeing the puck well and keeping opposing offenses under control.

With Jordan Binnington starting to get older and his performance slowing down, Härentsam will be a prospect to watch before he makes the jump to North America and challenges for a goalie spot on the Blues.

Marcus Gidlöf

Marcus Gidlöf turned in one of his best performances of the season on Oct. 7, stopping 31 of 32 shots in Leksands IF’s 7-1 win over Nybro Vikings in Sweden’s HockeyAllsvenskan.

The Blues prospect finished with a .969 save percentage, helping Leksand secure a convincing victory. Despite the team’s offensive outburst, Gidlöf still had to make key saves to keep Nybro from getting back into the game. He was particularly effective while Leksand protected its large lead, allowing just one goal late in the third period.

Gidlöf, who was selected by the New York Islanders in the fifth round of the 2024 NHL Draft before being acquired by St. Louis in the Brayden Schenn trade, is continuing to gain valuable experience in Swedish professional hockey.

The 21-year-old goaltender has shown encouraging potential, and performances like this are a positive sign as he works toward becoming a long-term option in the Blues’ goaltending pipeline.

Matvei Korotky

Matvei Korotky continues to produce in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), recording a goal and an assist against Dinamo Minsk on Oct. 8.

The 2024 seventh-round pick now leads all Blues prospects with 10 points in 12 games, recording four goals and six assists for SKA St. Petersburg. His consistent production against professional competition is an encouraging sign as he continues to develop overseas.

Korotky is gaining valuable experience in one of the top professional leagues outside the NHL. If he can maintain this pace, he will remain a prospect worth watching as the season progresses. The same can be said for all players in this weekly prospect report.
