He played in straight lines with a detailed stick and did a nice job of staying on the right side of the puck.

Game Grade: C
Comments: The November 2007 has a bounce in his stride and is very light on his feet. He is still gaining strength but we feel like he tried to do be on the right side of the puck whenever possible. Offensively he played with his eyes up scanning the ice and was well prepared for the situations around him. Tonight he earned 9’48 in ice time (11th among fwds) including 1:41 on the power play (6th among fwds). He did not kill penalties. He finished even with 0 points, 1 shots, 1 grade ‘A’ opportunity, 1/6 on face-offs, had 3 giveaways, 0 takeaways and for the season he is winning 39% of his 50/50 puck battles.

Game Grade: C
Comments: Aucoin is an October 2006 who looks taller than his listed 5’11’ and lighter than 174lbs. Skating wise he is still growing into his long legs as there were times when it looked like he got going too fast for his body. Tonight he earned 10:05 in ice time (10th among fwds) including 0:04 on the power play and 1:06 on the penalty kill (4th among fwds). He finished even with 2 shots, 0/1 on face-offs, 3 giveaways, 2 takeaways and for the season he is winning 42% of his 50/50 puck battles.
