Sabres’ Asplund is looking forward to his first NHL game
‘In his first season, he learned a lot about the North American pro game, including dealing with a smaller ice surface. This year, the challenges have been different, “I’ve got a bigger role in the dressing room. I’m trying to talk more and be a leader off the ice and I think that makes me a better player too.”’
The Sabres have called up Rasmus Asplund
‘In 13 games this season with Rochester, Asplund has one goal and seven assists for eight points. In 88 AHL games, he’s netted 11 goals and 38 assists for 49 points. Asplund played four years in the SHL before coming to North America. The 21-year-old is considered an excellent two-way center.’
