Sonny Milano, just 21-years-old, and drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2014, had a determined preseason and cracked the opening night lineup against the New York Islanders Oct. 9.
He made his NHL debut in 2015-16 and had spanned seven-career games at the top level entering this season.
Now, Milano is looking to stick around.
If he keeps doing what he has—4 G in the first five games—that won't be a problem. Milano became the first Blue Jackets rookie to bury the biscuit in the teams' first three games to start a season.
