Winnipeg, Manitoba – In Andreas Athanasiou’s hopes and expectations, it was just one more progressive step in a career still very much in its infancy.
But it was good step. The third-year pro matched last year’s point total (29) in 12 less games (52), and with his 13th goal in Wednesday’s 2-1 loss in St. Louis.
He scored 18 last season, so Athanasiou is likely going to at least tie that mark this season.
But, in all, it was another example of Athanasiou, 23, making progress this season.
“I’m just playing my game, and have a little more opportunity, and producing a bit more just comes with that,” Athanasiou said.
