Coyotes winger Christian Fischer plays such a unique brand of hockey that it’s easy to forget that he is just a 20-year-old rookie playing in his first full NHL season.
Fischer is part of a dying breed of hockey player that many dub a “power forward,” or someone with a willingness to assert themselves physically and do the dirty work in the offensive and defensive zones to create scoring chances.
But recently, Fischer has gotten away from the style of play that rewarded him with seven goals and four assists in the first 25 games of the season.
