He’s been carrying the draft class of 2021 since last year’s playoffs, and with an infestation of injury bugs plaguing the organization, he’s been doing the same for the prospect pool as a whole. On top of a shootout-winning goal on Saturday, Ostapchuk added another goal, along with 6 assists in 4 games, and now has 29 points in 21 games on the year. That’s not an especially dominant pace, but it’s incredibly encouraging to see where he’s at now, compared to a year ago. After an impressive performance in the 2022 World Juniors in a bottom-six role, he’s virtually a lock to make the team this year and has a bigger opportunity to contribute offensively.
