‘Asplund has been at the forefront of the Sabres’ aggressive style this season. He is one of the engines on Buffalo’s most dominant line to this point, alongside centerman Tage Thompson and fellow winger Victor Olofsson. The Sabres have generated lopsided advantages in shot attempts (37-16) and scoring chances (19-5) with the trio on the ice at 5-on-5 through three games.’
