Owner of two helpers (0-2=2) in yesterday's 5-2 win at Carolina, Brock Faber has reached 24 assists on the season and tied Kirill Kaprizov (2020-21 season) and Matt Boldy (2021-22 season) for the second-highest single-season assist total in #mnwild rookie history. pic.twitter.com/7fKgkbLsI9

Kaprizov did also do that on the shortened season. He paced for 35 assists that year.
Awesome 👏
Never put Spurgeon back on the powerplay pls for the love of the sport. Faber is so much more dynamic than Spurgeon ever was or is ever going to be if he recovers and returns next season. Faber moves the puck and walks the line is a way that is just significantly more efficient and effective then Spurgeon who stand around. It’s crazy to think Faber is probably the powerplay quarterback the Wild actually need considering he never played powerplay since he was in Bantams but he is just better in every way compared to Spurgeon on PP.
I’d love to see him hit 50pts this season. With Spurgeon out, I imagine Faber plays PP1 the rest of the year, which should help his numbers.
