MONTREAL – Forward Jake Evans is making steady progress in his second season with the Fighting Irish.
After putting up seven goals and 17 points in 41 games in his freshman campaign at the University of Notre Dame in 2014-15, Evans has already registered 14 points in just 16 games so far this year, and posted a plus-8 differential along the way.
That’s pretty impressive for a player who is getting his first shot at playing his natural position at center in the NCAA ranks. The Toronto native spent last season playing right-wing while learning the basics of the college game and growing accustomed to a brand new environment on and off the ice in South Bend, IN.
