Tyler Shattock

History

2008-09: NHL teams could not ignore Tyler Shattock's 30 goals and 39 assists. He showed that he has a heavy shot and can hang with elite defenders. Kamloops threw Shattock on the ice when they needed goals and oftentimes he didn't let them down.

2009-10: Shattock began his fourth junior season with the Kamloops Blazers, scoring 22 goals, 28 assists for 50 points in 42 games. He was traded to Calgary during the season and skated in 30 games for the Hitmen. The winger scored 8 goals, 20 assists for 28 points during the regular season. He added 5 goals and 12 assists for 17 points in 21 playoff games, including 2 goals, 5 assists in 4 Memorial Cup games.

2010-11: Shattock went through the typical growing pains of a first-year pro making the adjustment from major juniors with the AHL's Peoria Rivermen. He skated in 67 games for Peoria; scoring 3 goals with 12 assists and was +4 with 60 PMs. He saw limited ice time in Peoria's four-game playoff series with Houston and had 4 PMs with an even plus/minus.

2011-12: Shattock returned to Peoria for a second AHL season in his second year with the Blues organization. Playing in a lower line role for the Rivermen he scored 7 goals with 8 assists in 65 games and was minus-five with 20 penalty minutes. Peoria missed the AHL playoffs after finishing fourth in the Midwest Division.

 

Talent Analysis

Shattock, a right winger by trade, can play all three forward positions on the ice. He is very good at getting garbage goals and showed off an impressive shot from the top circle on the power play.

 

Future

Shattock will play his third season at the AHL level in Peoria but could see time in the ECHL with Evansville if the versatile forward can't improve his offensive game this year. It could be a numbers game for the big winger until the NHL lockout ends.
