Andrew Cristall won鈥檛 get to show his skills off on the big stage.

The 琉璃神社 Rockets鈥� leading goal scorer will not play in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects game because of a lower-body injury.

While his injury is listed as day-to-day, Cristall hasn鈥檛 played since Jan. 7 against Kamloops.

The 17-year-old forward was recently ranked the 16th best skater amongst North American prospects by NHL Central Scouting in their mid-term rankings. In 36 games this season, the Burnaby, B.C. native has 26 goals and 36 assists (62 points).

London Knights forward Denver Barkly was named Cristall鈥檚 replacement. Rockets defenceman Caden Price is still scheduled to play in the game.
