Krys Barch, Craftsman

As the need to drop the gloves has diminished in the NHL in recent years, Barch has found other ways to contribute. Usually held to a team-low 6:55 ice time per game, he is a positive influence on the bench, locker room and at practice.

“Even if he doesn’t play as much as other guys, on the bench, he is always positive. He’s always cheering the guys,” Jonathan Huberdeau said. “I know he’s really into the game and it shows how good of a leader he is, as a person, and in the room, too. He knows the game well.”
