In the 2015-16 season, Vancouver Canucks prospect winger Brock Boeser led the University of North Dakota with 27 goals and 60 points in 42 games. His line mates, Chicago Blackhawks centre Nick Schmaltz and Edmonton Oilers winger Drake Caggiula, made the jump to the NHL this year, and left Boeser behind.
Two games into the season, however, Boeser doesn’t seem to miss his old line mates one bit.
In a two-game sweep of Canisius College, Boeser shone on the right wing of the Colorado Avalanche’s 2016 10th-overall pick, Tyson Jost, and UND sophomore Shane Gersich, a 2014 fifth-rounder of the Washington Capitals.
