My colleague Chad Ford is projecting that the 2017 draft will be dominated by freshmen, particularly at the top. Assuming thats the case, many of the freshmen entering college right now will be sporting ball caps and large smiles come next summer.But all thats in the future. For now Im interested in what these guys can bring to the table on behalf of their college teams. So I decided to make some informed projections on what exactly stars such as Harry Giles and Josh Jackson are going to show us in the next few months.Ive chosen to use good old-fashioned per-game stats just for simplicitys sake (pardon me while I close my flip phone and grab this floppy disk), but note that each player blurb seeks to address quality in addition to sheer volume where performance is concerned.Based on the player rankings in the 2016 ESPN 100, here are my expectations for the top 20 freshmen for 2016-17: Eddie Rosario Twins Jersey . Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23. MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining. Byron Buxton Twins Jersey . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont. http://www.twinssale.com/twins-joe-mauer-jersey/ . With their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against Minnesota. Jonathan Schoop Jersey .J. Jefferson has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend. Marwin Gonzalez Jersey .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. BOSTON -- Anton Khudobin made a couple big plays at key moments for the Boston Bruins, and celebrated accordingly.Khudobin pumped his fists after the Bruins finished off a 2-1 shootout win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night for the goaltenders first victory of the season.He deserves a lot of accolades tonight, the way he played, the way he responded after being out such a long time, Bruins coach Claude Julien said.Khudobin has been hampered by an upper-body injury, and Tuukka Rask is Bostons starting goaltender. Khudobin was recalled last Friday from Providence of the AHL after a brief conditioning assignment and then made 27 saves in a 2-1 loss to Calgary, dropping to 0-3 this season.Ryan Spooner and David Pastrnak scored for Boston in the shootout. Jeff Skinners bid to extend the tiebreaker fell short when he was stopped by Khudobin.Skinner also was turned away by Khudobin on a breakaway in the closing seconds of overtime.Its the chances you have early in the game, the breakaways in the game, a breakaway in overtime, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. You have to figure it out and make the big-time play.Carolina blew a two-goal lead against the Rangers in its previous game.We have to find ways to win these games no matter who we are playing, Hurricanes forward Derek Ryan said. Its frustrating but thats a hockey season ... you go up and you go down.Torey Krug scored in the third period for Boston, and Khudobin finished with 29 saves. Pastrnak made a pair of dekes and slipped the puck past Cam Ward for the winning goal.ddddddddddddI dont think anyone here thinks they played their best game tonight, but to get the two points is huge, Bruins forward Matt Beleskey said.Jacob Slavin scored in the shootout for Carolina, which lost for the fourth time in five games.Krug was credited with the tying goal with 28.5 seconds remaining after Hurricanes forward Teuvo Teravainen kicked the puck past Ward.Hurricanes defenseman and Boston native Noah Hanifin scored at 7:37 of the first period on a slap shot from the blue line.Hanifins first of the season came right after Carolina blew a 3-on-0 rush when Skinner missed a point-blank opportunity.Ward made 34 saves and stoned the Bruins on several chances in overtime, including a nice stop on Krug 50 seconds in.Carolina hasnt won a regulation game against the Bruins in over three years.Game notes Pastrnak and David Krejci also notched assists for Boston, which improved to 6-6 at home. ... Bruins D Zdeno Chara missed his fifth straight game with a lower-body injury. ... Skinner has seven points in his last eight games. ... Hanifin has two goals and two assists in four games against the Bruins. ...
