Alex DeBrincat plans to learn from goal-scoring slump, be ‘better player’ for Blackhawks

Alex DeBrincat has made a name for himself as a goal scorer.

He scored 51 goals in back-to-back seasons for the Erie Otters in the Ontario Hockey League before the Blackhawks selected him in the second round of the 2016 NHL Draft. In his first post-draft season, he scored 65 goals for Erie then broke into the NHL with a team-high 28 goals during the 2017-18 season and had 41 goals (second only on the team to Patrick Kane’s 44) in the 2018-19 season.

His 69 goals through two NHL seasons helped him land a three-year, $19.
