25-year-old forward Mackenzie MacEachern came out of nowhere to earn a spot on the St. Louis Blues roster midway through the 2018-19 season and was eventually awarded a one-way contract extension.
The extension was well deserved for MacEachern, who spent the beginning of the year with the Blues’ AHL affiliate San Antonio Rampage.
St. Louis called up MacEachern right around the time they started to turn their season around. The former third-round pick made his NHL debut on January 1 against the Montreal Canadiens and notched three hits in seven shifts.
MacEachern does not have sexy numbers under his belt as an NHL forward, and what he brings to the table is not 20 goals a year potential.
