It’s been almost a year since Alex Barré-Boulet played in the NHL. On December 4th, 2021 he played 9:32 in a 3-2 overtime win against the Boston Bruins. He finished a -2 and didn’t record a point (the fifth straight game without a point) before he was assigned back to the Syracuse Crunch. After a bit of a readjustment period he finished the season strong in the AHL and was off to a hot start this season. In 74 games over the last two seasons with the Crunch he’s put up 87 points (10 goals, 67 assists) and was leading the league in scoring when he was called up to the Bolts.
