The success this season can't only attributed to the stars on the Boston Bruins, as players up and down the lineup have had career-high years, and deservedly so.
Bottom-six forward Trent Frederic has stood out this season for more ways than one, on the scoresheet, with his fists and many more, and is the latest Bruins player to enjoy personal success.
Exceeding Expectations
According to NHL Public Relations, the 25-year-old reached a new personal milestone for the first time on Sunday:
''* Trent Frederic (0-2�2) has reached the 30-point mark in a single season for the first time in his career (16-14�30 in 74 GP). He has 12-11�23 in his previous 119 career games before 2022-23.''
In just his second-ever road game in St. Louis, he recorded his first points against his hometown team to reach 30 this season. Fitting that he previously netted 11 goals and 19 assists for 30 points in 37 games with the St. Louis AAA Blues in 2013-14.
Frederic, who was originally selected 29th overall by the Bruins back in 2016, is finally showing signs of being a trusted offensive producer at the NHL level.
