Many new faces appear on the list this month, including a brand new face ranked number one, Right Wing Alexei Cherepanov of Omsk (RusE). Karl Alzner of Calgary Hitmen (WHL) is the top defenseman according to the ISS, ranked number 2. Former number ones Jakub Voracek and Logan Couture fall to 4 and 5, respectively, continuing a skid in the rankings that couture has experienced since being ranked number 1 in the preseason. After a very strong WJHC, American Patrick Kane sees himself rise to number 6 on the list. After a big jump to third last month, Esposito sees his stock fall to 10, while Sam Gagner sees himself fall to 9.
