Ori off to his best start yet and enjoying playing with his line mates

[ROOKIE745 604]

Season 82 is underway, Ori is under his extension contract now and is look to show why he's one of the best centers in the game. In 11 games he's got 11 assists and 14 points, 2 of his 3 goals have been on the power play. However as a pass first type of player he depends on and needs good wingers to score on his fantastic passes. Last season Alex Johnston finished as one of the top scorers in the league with 63 goals and 125 points. He had 7 game winners, 11 power play goals and one shot handed goal, he is a perfect right winger for a player like Ori. What about the left wing though? Enter newly acquired Nico Pearce, picked up just before the start of the season, he had to scramble to make it in time for the team's first regular season game, and had pretty much no time to practice with line mates Ori and Johnston. In his rookie season in Moscow he had 30 goals and 59 points. While he is lowest rated player on the line he is quickly improving and by the end of this season they should be one of the best lines in the league. Pearce has put together 7 points with 6 of them being assists so far while Johnston has 8 goals and 14 points.
