When the Montreal Canadiens were spiralling deeper and deeper into the depths of historically bad hockey, there were only a handful of players who seemed to have a pulse for every game. One of them was Michael Pezzetta, who was initially recalled while Cole Caufield was assigned to the Laval Rocket in the midst of a horrid losing skid.
Against all odds, Pezzetta has stuck in the NHL even as the team has gotten healthier, and has tallied four goals and two assists in 32 games. Considering he and his linemates rarely hit double-digit minutes of ice time, his production is just fine for a prototypical fourth-liner in the NHL.
