After a disappointing 2021 campaign, Alexandre Texier was a man on a mission entering this past season. From the drop of the puck on opening night, Texier was one of the most noticeable players on the ice. He even scored the teams’ first goal of the year, in his first shift of the year in the first minute of the season. It looked like Tex was going to hit the ground running in his third “full” season in the NHL.
The success didn’t immediately continue, and he found himself on the fourth line, playing with Sean Kuraly and Eric Robinson.
