SC Bern‘s 13th year left wing Andrew Ebbett(25) signs a 2-year extension keeping him through 2021, which will be the three-time assistant captain’s 6th season with the team.
The small but rugged forward veteran of 224 NHL games and 335 AHL games scored back-t0-back 2016 & 2017 NLA Championships, along with being named 2017/2018 League MVP for his point-per-game production (14-34-48) and was a playoff scoring stud in the 2017 title run.
At just turned 36-years old, the former University Of Michigan captain and power scorer obviously shows little signs of stopping (at least for the next two years) and already has 10 goals and 15 assists through 29 games in the current campaign.
Andrew Ebbett (25)
8th year undrafted left wing Andrew Ebbett(25) wasted no time in free agency signing a one-year, two-way deal to join Pittsburgh Penguins‘ system for a season.
In 8 AHL games with minor league affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins he already has a tidy 2 goals and 5 assists. He’s pretty much a point per game guy in the league at 78 goals and 165 assists in 254 games, now skating with his 6th team. He also owns a remarkable +32 rating.
He’s less prolific in the NHL scoring 25 tallies and 39 helpers in 191 games under contracts with 7 different teams but also has an accountable +3 plus/minus.
The small 5’9″ 174 lbs. forward is looked to for bursts of energy he brings to the table and that kind of spark plug often results in wins.
It will be interesting to see where the 30-year old ends up next but he can almost assuredly expect a recall to the parent club before the seasons out, which would give him NHL appearances in his last 7 seasons.
