Justin Braun Bags A Hat Trick Of Assists
5 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers defenseman Justin Braun recorded three assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over Winnipeg. Scott Laughton notched two first-period goals, while Sean Couturier and Tyler Pitlick also scored for Philly. Braun has now managed two games with three assists in his past four appearances, after registering only 10 assists in his first 51 games of the season. He's got some offensive ability, but Braun has never posted outstanding numbers, with his career-best 33 points coming in 2017-18. It's highly unlikely that he can sustain his current levels of performance, especially as he's stuck on the bottom pairing. He'll face his former team, San Jose, next on Tuesday, sitting on 19 points for the year.
