Rasmus Asplund’s development an early-season success story for Sabres

‘In 11 games this season, Asplund has four goals and six assists for a team-high 10 points. His six-game point streak is the best of his young career and he’s totaled eight points during that span. Asplund’s 17:40 average ice time per game is also second among all Sabres forwards. He’s scored at even strength, working net front on the power play and when shorthanded. His improvement is significant for a franchise in need of young, talented forwards who fit Adams’ vision for the Sabres on the ice and in the dressing room.’

‘“We have in Finland a saying: ‘If you want to have some pizza, you have to go to a pizzeria,’ so it’s kind of the same way,” Ruotsalainen said following Sunday’s practice inside KeyBank Center. “If you want to score, you have to go to the net. I’m just following that rule, just trying to read where the puck is going to go.”’

‘“He’s in the midst of a process,” said Sabres head coach Don Granato following Sunday’s practice. “This is the highest league in the world, so I don’t care where you played or what you played; if you’re new to the league, it’s going to take you some time.”’

Asplund’s all-situations role has factored into 6-game point streak

‘The production is a result of the 23-year-old forward’s development into an all-situations player. He ranks fifth among Sabres forwards in shorthanded ice time and fourth on the team in power-play ice time. His overall average ice time of 17:37 ranks second among forwards behind linemate Tage Thompson.’
