Buffalo Sabres‘ 2nd round pick in the 2016 draft (#33 overall) 6th year Swedish-born center Rasmus Asplund(74) grabs a 1st NHL recall as a sophomore skater for affiliate Rochester Americans.
In 13 AHL games he has a goal and 7 assists with a +3 rating.
The 5’11” 190 lbs. forward skated 2 games averaging 20 shifts for 12 minutes per outing with 4 shots, 4 hits and went just above 50% in the face off dot in a win and a loss.
As a rookie in the minors, he scored 10 goals and had a team 2nd 31 assists.
His 20 assists in his fourth season for Farjestad BK of the SHL was a high in his home country’s top league.
It seems like coming over has awakened a scoring side of a player more known for one-ice accountability.
The 21-year old is in the 2nd year of his 3-year entry level deal.
