Kruger has recorded three goals and eight assists so far this season. He is a great asset on the third line at center to Ben Smith and Brandon Bollig. The thing to remember about 23-year-old Kruger is that he is a subtle and smooth skater.
Nick Leddy is apart of the quick- sticked Chicago defense. The 22-year-old has put up two goals and a whopping 10 assists thus far this season. Leddy is such an amazing and talented young player, and is the only defenseman on this list. He helps to make the defense blindingly fast.
21-year-old Brandon Saad is, on the surface, impressive for his record this season of seven goals and 11 assists. There is no question of his ability to keep up with fellow winger Patrick Kane, whom he shares the second line with. Saad is more so impressive and known amongst his teammates for being mature beyond his years. This is a great quality that will serve to keep him level headed throughout his no doubt talent filled career.
There are many aspects about Andrew Shaw that are astounding. First off, he does not look to be just 22. He has seven goals and eight assists this season. He stands out on the third line with Kris Versteeg and Bryan Bickell as a player who has the ability to appear out of nowhere and pull a play out of thin air. He is one tough and dedicated skater, as well.
Brandon Pirri is impressive for an almost endless list of reasons. The 22-year-old has started to make a real name for himself on the second line as a center with Patrick Kane and Brandon Saad. Even more impressive, Pirri is new to the roster this season after being called up from the Blackhawks farm team. Pirri is a dedicated skater who is out to prove he is worthy to sport a Hawks jersey by capitalizing on all of his ice time. Great things are to be expected of the player who has scored six goals and made five assists so far this season.
