This season is everything for Alex DeBrincat. After a really down season in 2019-20, this bounce-back performance with the Chicago Blackhawks is welcomed from the former 2016 second-round pick.
Alex DeBrincat was on the fourth line over a year ago. He was bouncing around in the lineup and could not find a consistent scoring edge. It did not help that the Blackhawks star was separated from Dylan Strome and not putting pucks in the net.
DeBrincat lost his spot on the top power-play last season, something I wonder if Jeremy Colliton regrets doing now as DeBrincat has been on fire putting up 15 goals, including five on the power play.
