Undrafted Abbotsford Canucks‘ rookie right wing Marc Gatcomb(43) scores a new contract for 2022/2023 after joining them upon completion of his senior year at University Of Connecticut Huskies.
The 6’2″ 194 lbs. forward had a college career best 8 goals and 13 assists with a +6 rating last season.
In 6 AHL on an ato he had no points.
The Woburn, MA native never played any junior hockey, instead going right from USHS-Prep to college.
Hopefully the 23-year old will be able to step into his game and start to connect.
He plays a pretty solid 1st year and even gets reassigned down to the ECHL for a few games to light it up in that league.
It was likely little thought to have him back for a 2nd look and in 64 games, he scores 9 goals and 11 assists.
He somehow catches the eye of New York Islanders, who sign him to a 1-year, 2-way deal and in 35 games with affiliate Bridgeport Islanders, he has equaled his 9 goals and 8 assists with a +1 rating to score himself a 1st NHL recall.
In his debut, he skated 11 shifts for 7:27 of ice time with 4 hits, 1 shot block, 1 takeaway and he went 100% on the face-off dot in a 2-0 loss.
He returned in a 4-1 win with 16 shifts, 11:23 ice, 3 shots and 7 hits.
In 39 games last season, he gets 8 goals and 1 assist to gain a new contract to remain an Islanders for 2025/2026.
