Thompson is riding a three-game point streak (3+2) and a point in tonight’s game would give him his sixth point streak of four or more games this season. A point tonight would mark the 19th time he has registered a point streak of four or more games in his career. Rasmus Dahlin has registered 21 points (6+15) in his last 20 games. JJ Peterka has tallied 19 points (9+10) in his last 17 games and he has registered seven points (2+5) in his last six games.

Josh Norris has notched one point in two consecutive games (1+1) and a goal tonight would give him his third three-game point streak this season. In his last five games, Ryan McLeod has recorded five points (1+4), including one point in each of his last three contests. McLeod would notch his second point streak of four or more games this season with a point tonight. McLeod’s longest point streak of the season lasted five games from Oct. 12 to 22 (4+1). Jason Zucker has recorded nine points (3+6) in his last nine games. Bowen Byram has registered at least one assist in back-to-back games and an assist in tonight’s game would give him his fourth three-game assist streak of the season.
