Play-In Report Card: Brad Hunt was there

And despite averaging only around 15 minutes of ice time per game, he still managed to put up 19 points (8 goals, 11 assists) in 59 games played.
In Minnesota’s four qualifying round games against the Vancouver Canucks, he didn’t produce much in terms of offense, aside from seven shots on goal. Defensively, Hunt was just average, and a few big mistakes cost the team a goal or two in the series.
