Buchnevich: 100 Career Points

Another player searching for his 100th career point is Pavel Buchnevich. In only 115 career games thus far, Buchnevich has put up 63 career points. Last season he put up respectable numbers including 14 goals, 29 assists, amassing a total of 43 points. Only 37 points away from the century mark, it is highly achievable for the young Russian to eclipse that mark. If he gets considerable time this season, Buchnevich could certainly break open all of his career high marks in Goals and assists.

Considering last season and his playing time, Buchnevich will likely see an increase in play time under the new regime with David Quinn. Under new management, Buchnevich will see more time on the first line, paired with teammates like Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad.

Buchnevich will likely hit the 100 point mark by the end of the season barring any injury and in the event that he gets an improved role.
