Notes: Brzustewicz was drafted in the 4th round in 2020 draft. He was the 22nd defenceman taken that year ... Luchanko (22) and Buchinger (19) are 1-2 in power play assists leaders ... Rehkopf has six goals (two hat tricks) and eight points in three games since returning from the World Juniors ... Brzustewicz is on pace for 96 assists this season, which would be the most since Bill Bowler had 102 in the 1994-95 season and the first to hit 90 assists since London's Sergei Kostitsyn had 91 in 2006-07 ... Karabela has been held pointless in just two of his last 15 games ... Buchinger's 14 points in his last 10 games are all assists.
