He currently is going at a point-a-game with 29.
That will make him the highest scoring defenceman in the rich history of the franchise.
The previous highest scoring defenceman for the Admirals was Curtis Murphy in the 2003-04 season with 53 points.
Furthermore, Ufko's 72 points would also rank fifth amongst skaters of ALL positions in franchise history.
