This Bruins forward is continuing to impress this season.
In the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, the Boston Bruins selected Trent Frederic with the 29th overall pick. Viewed as a reach, the gritty forward needed a few years to develop, but he has since become a vital part of the Bruins' lineup.
Frederic, 26, took a notable step forward last season, posting 17 goals and 31 points in 79 games. However, the St. Louis native has broken out even more this season and reached a notable achievement last night (March 26) in the Bruins' 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers.
At the 15:38 mark of the third period, one-timed a perfect Brad Marchand feed past Sergei Bobrovsky to tie the game 3-3. This goal was a significant one for not only the Bruins but also Frederic specifically, as he set a new career high with his 18th of the year.
Frederic has already set new career highs in assists (21) and points (39), so it is turning out to be a breakout season for the gritty winger. Now, his primary objective will be to finish it off strongly. A 20-goal season is well within reach.
