Ethan Wyttenbach Led All Flames Prospects at the World Junior Summer Showcase

Saturday’s results — Ethan Wyttenbach scored twice as the United States beat Canada 7-2 to close the World Junior Summer Showcase, and finished the week as the highest-scoring Calgary Flames prospect in Windsor: eight points in four games.

He needed about six minutes to decide the game. Canada had just taken its only lead of the night, 2-1, on a Dima Zhilkin goal at 7:27 of the second, a Cole Reschny shot that deflected in off Zhilkin’s stick. Twenty-six seconds later Wyttenbach tied it. At 13:22 he scored again on the power play, finding the back door off a feed from Wyatt Cullen, and the Americans never trailed after that, closing on six unanswered goals.

The shot totals say it should have been closer. Canada put 36 shots on Ryder Fetterolf and got two past him, while the United States scored seven on 24. Fetterolf finished with 34 saves.

Wyttenbach and Reschny, the two Flames prospects who did the most damage all week, ended up tangling with each other in the process. Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis caught the aftermath:

Reschny had the best rate of anyone

Cole Reschny picked up the assist on Zhilkin’s go-ahead goal, his fourth point in two games. That is the best per-game rate of any Flames prospect at the tournament, and he did it after sitting out Canada’s opener. He also wore the “C” for Canada for the second straight game, per TSN’s Mark Masters:

Daily Faceoff, covering the showcase from Windsor, singled out both players in its final-day piece. On Reschny: “He was stopped on an excellent scoring chance early in the second, but made up for it by assisting on the 2-1 Canadian goal later that same shift.” On Wyttenbach: “The skilled winger was relentless all tournament, finding loose pucks and banging in rebounds all over the ice.”

Carson Carels and Chase Harrington both dressed for Canada and were held off the scoresheet. Jack Hextall dressed for the United States and finished the same way, though he nearly broke through in the first period, setting up a golden chance for teammate Carter Sanderson that just missed:

The full week, for all eight

Calgary had eight prospects invited. Here is what each of them actually did, counted from the official game reports for all ten games:

Player	Team	GP	G	A	P
Ethan Wyttenbach	United States	4	5	3	8
Cole Reschny	Canada	2	0	4	4
Theo Stockselius	Sweden	5	2	1	3
Jack Hextall	United States	5	0	1	1
Carson Carels	Canada	2	0	0	0
Chase Harrington	Canada	2	0	0	0
Mace’o Phillips	United States	1	0	0	0
Cullen Potter	United States	0	0	0	0

Wyttenbach’s total is the one to sit with. He was out of the American lineup for three of their seven games and still outscored every other Calgary prospect at the event, on a three-assist night, two two-goal nights, and a single in between.

Stockselius played every one of Sweden’s five games, the only Flames prospect to dress for his team’s full schedule. His two goals against Canada on July 29 decided that one. He was held off the scoresheet Saturday afternoon as Sweden beat Finland 5-2 to close its week on three straight wins.

Cullen Potter, Calgary’s first-round pick in 2025, did not play at all. Per NHL.com, he was in Windsor but stayed off the ice while finishing his recovery from an injury he sustained in January.
