Expectations were high for Jack Studnicka entering last season. The former second-round pick was one of the Boston Bruins‘ top prospects and a crucial part of the future. The Ontario native, however, struggled to make an impact and had three points in 20 games. With the 2021-2022 campaign only weeks away, Studnicka is determined to prove he belongs in the NHL.
Through his first 22 NHL games, Studnicka has recorded four points. He has not recorded a point on the power play in that span and landed 31 shots on net. In the 22-year-olds first extended look last season, he was unable to translate his success in the AHL in the NHL.
