Expectations were high for Alexandre Texier after he made a splash in his late season debut with Columbus in April 2019. Unfortunately, he had some growing pains in the first two months of this season, scoring just three goals and one assist in his first 22 games. In the month of December, however, he started to grow more comfortable, scoring three goals and six assists in fourteen games. Then, on New Year’s Eve, he played just 2:55 before leaving with a back injury that cost him the rest of the regular season.
The suspension of the season in March bought Texier the time he needed for his back to heal fully.
