Ristolainen handed out two assists (one on the power play) and laid four hits Thursday in a win over Florida.

EDGE Analysis

The powerful young Finn has now found the scoresheet in three straight games, and he's cracked double-digit points in just 16 games; last season, Ristolainen didn't record his 10th point until Feb. 15. That said, neither of Thursday's assists was anything more than being in the right place at the right time -- they were secondary helpers on goals where other guys did the heavy lifting. Of course, Ristolainen's big minutes enable things like that to happen to him more often.
