Aldgard sets new franchise rookie marks

[animal74 1,933]

There were high expectations on Albin Aldgard when the D. C. Dragons selected him 4^th overall in the S97 Entry Draft and the slick Swedish blueliner met those expectations and then some. His 15 goals and 40 assists for 55 points put him 6^th in the S98 rookie scoring race and third among rookie defensemen.

 

His 40 assists and 55 points also set new franchise records for those stats by a first-year defenseman and his 15 goals are second-most behind Mark Calaway’s 18 markers in S89. His 2177 minutes played are also second behind Ben Laas’ 2196, his 153 shots are third and his 6 power play goals are fourth. As well, he became the fourth D. C. rookie defenseman to post two game-winning goals.

 

He’s also only one of six Dragons’ rookies to scoring 50+ points and his 40 helpers are tied with current teammate Tom Dufour for fourth-most by a rookie in franchise history.
