‘In 11 games this season, Asplund has four goals and six assists for a team-high 10 points. His six-game point streak is the best of his young career and he’s totaled eight points during that span. Asplund’s 17:40 average ice time per game is also second among all Sabres forwards. He’s scored at even strength, working net front on the power play and when shorthanded. His improvement is significant for a franchise in need of young, talented forwards who fit Adams’ vision for the Sabres on the ice and in the dressing room.’
