When the New York Rangers traded Ryan Spooner for Ryan Strome last November, it was thought to be a move to jump-start two struggling careers.
A year later, the Rangers have found a pearl in an oyster shell, as Strome has found his game, which includes scoring goals and piling up points.
Since that November trade, Strome has appeared in 77 games with the Rangers. The center has scored 23 goals to go along with 24 assists for 47 points.
This season, Strome is a point-per-game man recording five goals with nine helpers.
