Ristolainen produced an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Ristolainen helped out on a Joel Farabee goal in the third period. Through 10 contests, Ristolainen has struggled a bit on offense -- Friday's helper was just his second of the season. The Finn has added his usual physicality with 34 hits, 18 blocked shots and eight PIM. He regularly pushed for a 40-point pace during his Sabres' tenure, so it makes sense to assume his offense will pick up a bit as the season progresses.
