Dmitry Zavgorodniy: so hot right now!
The 20-year-old AHL rookie endured through a troubling first two months at the professional level. Skating in a depth role, he put up zeroes in every offensive category over his first 19 games before being made a healthy scratch on Apr. 2 in Laval.
Since his return to the lineup, Zavgorodniy has become one of Stockton’s more dangerous offensive players and is finally starting to find his offensive groove. Maybe that’s why they call the AHL a “developmental league”…
Zavgorodniy scored his first AHL goal on Thursday evening while skating in his 23rd game with the Heat.
