Best known for his shot, Alex Galchenyuk has exhibited his deft passing ability many times over the years. 2017-18 was no exception as the talented American finished the season with 32 assists, good for second place on the team (one behind Jonathan Drouin).
On March 13, 2018, on a night where the spotlight first shone on another Alex on the night of his return to the Bell Centre, Galchenyuk was determined not to be overlooked. With three and a half minutes remaining in the first period and the visiting Dallas Stars leading 1-0, Jacob De La Rose scrambled a defensive zone faceoff into the slot.
