Senators defenceman Carter Yakemchuk is making waves and headlines after notching two points in his National Hockey League debut with the Ottawa Senators.
The 20-year-old, who has 36 points (10 goals, 26 assists) in 50 American Hockey League games with Belleville this season, picked up his first assist (a cheeky, between-the-legs, no-look pass across the blue line to Tim Stutzle) and his first goal (a trademark wrist shot from the right point), in a win for the NHL Senators at Detroit this week, and that’s got the beat reporters buzzing.
From local outlets like Quinte News to national media like The Athletic, Sportsnet, TSN and more, Yakemchuk’s name has been all over the headlines since Tuesday evening.
