KAMLOOPS — The NHL Central Scouting’s 2016 final rankings are out. Arizona native Auston Matthews, who’s the projected No. 1 overall draft pick for this June, remains at the top. But also on the list are three Blazers. 

Near the top of the list for North American goaltenders is Connor Ingram who’s ranked eighth. The 18-year-old had an outstanding season with 34 wins, a 2.61 goals-against average and franchise record .922 save percentage. He’s a big reason the Blazers finished third in the B.C. Division and pushed the Kelowna Rockets to seven games in the first round.
