North Bay's Lucas Edmonds is making the most out of his ice time.
After spending most of the season on the fourth line with the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL, he has worked his way up the lineup and is becoming a key offensive contributor.
Rookie forward Lucas Edmonds stayed hot in Week 21 of the season, leading all Crunch players and tying for the AHL lead with six points (4g, 2a) in three games last week. His four goals were the most by any player in the AHL.
Edmonds, 22, posted three points (2g, 1a) to help the Crunch defeat Cleveland Wednesday. After grabbing a helper Friday against the Phantoms, Edmonds notched his second multi-goal game of the week Sunday at Utica. Edmonds is on a four-game scoring streak with seven points (4g, 3a). He has also collected eight goals and 11 points in the last eight games.
A third round pick by Tampa Bay in 2022, Edmonds now leads Crunch rookies in scoring with 19 points (11g, 8a) in 35 games.
