Mammoth's Veeti Vaisanen: Earns three points in WHL blowout
Rotowire
Vaisanen scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Medicine Hat's 10-2 win over Swift Current on Saturday.
Vaisanen had been limited to three assists over his prior seven games since a two-goal effort Nov. 22. The 19-year-old defenseman is up to 18 points, a plus-6 rating and 48 shots on net through 29 appearances. The Mammoth prospect has shown improvement compared to his 24-point effort in 58 regular-season outings a year ago, which is all that can be asked of a mid-round pick. It'll be a while before he's competing for NHL minutes.

Mammoth's Veeti Vaisanen: Scores twice in WHL win
Rotowire
Vaisanen scored two goals in WHL Medicine Hat's 7-6 shootout win over Calgary on Saturday.
Vaisanen had just one goal this season prior to Saturday. He's now at three tallies and 12 points through 21 outings. That level of production won't pop off the page, but offense is just one part of his game. He plays a balanced style, and should he make it to the NHL with the Mammoth, he'd likely be a reliable bottom-four defenseman in a few years.
