He's up to 12 goals, 21 points, 57 shots on net, 53 hits and a plus-11 rating over 27 appearances, and four of his points have come on the power play.

Laferriere is up to 14 points, 35 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-9 rating over 15 appearances.

Saturday's power-play tally was also the first of his NHL career.
