Buchnevich is showing signs of breaking out of his early-season slump. While his overall season points-per-minute rate is modest, his production has surged by nearly 50% in the last five games, highlighted by a three-assist outing against Ottawa and a recent goal. This uptick, coupled with a slight increase in ice time and a more efficient shooting percentage, suggests a player finding his rhythm and worth monitoring closely.
