Another week has passed, and it’s time for another LA Kings‘ weekly prospect update. There were plenty of prospects who had a good week, but one who stood out was forward Jimmy Lombardi. Lombardi recorded five points (4 G, 1 A), including his first goal of the season, in three games for the Flint Firebirds (OHL). He also went 35/70 (50%) in the faceoff circle.

Lombardi, drafted in the fourth round by the Kings in the most recent draft, has quietly put together a seven-game point streak, recording 11 points (4 G, 7 A) in that span. He has assumed the role of Flint’s number-one center and has done well in that role. He’s slated to transition to the NCAA and play for the University of Michigan next season.

Here is how the rest of the players in the pipeline fared during the week:
