Lauri Pajuniemi exploded yesterday for two goals and an assist in a 4-0 win for TPS. The three point night gave him a line of 16-14-30 in 35 games this season. Don’t sleep on Pajuniemi coming over from Finland once his season ends. He may not be on the level of Vitali Kravtsov or Nils Lundkvist, but he’s an important prospect.
Morgan Barron scored again in Hartford in a 5-2 loss. He now has five goals this season while playing wing on the top line with the Wolf Pack. It is worth noting that the Rangers believe him to be a winger going forward, not a center.
