Despite the recent slump, he's on pace to challenge for the second 30-point campaign of his career, a mark he last achieved in 2019-20. He's also tracking toward exceeding 70 games played for the second time.

Reaches two milestones Tuesday Armia picked up an assist, fired three shots on goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Armia's helper got him to two milestones -- it was his 100th career assist and 200th point. It was also a clutch assist, as he set up Jake Evans' game-winning tally with just 2:15 left in the third period to finish a comeback victory. Armia has three points over his last four outings, and he's up to eight goals, 22 points, 70 shots on net, 66 hits and a plus-5 rating through 47 appearances this season. While he's on pace to reach the 30-point mark for just the second time in his career, he remains in a fourth-line role that could make his contributions on offense unpredictable.

Nabs helper Monday Armia recorded an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Armia ended his longest dry spell since the start of December (three games) with a helper on Kaiden Guhle's second-period tally. While he started the season without much offense, Armia has turned things around over the last couple of months to become a decent depth scorer. He has a total of seven goals, 19 points, 58 shots on net, 55 hits and a plus-4 rating over 40 appearances. He's reached the 30-point mark just once in his career in 2019-20, but he's on pace to surpass that mark if he can stay healthy and productive in the second half of 2024-25.
