Rookie Nutkevitch Fitting in Nicely with Brahmas
Quietly, the Fort Worth Brahmas are having a typical season, for them, with a 10-8-3 record. They are once again in the mix sitting a few games above .500 and once again have a tremendous home-ice advantage. The Brahmas have long been a team that you just don’t want to play against because the seemingly outwork you and in the end, often beat you.
So far this season, the Brahmas are 7-1-3 on home ice playing two games in the Fort Worth Convention Center and the balance of their games at the NYTEX Sports Centre.
Rookie Sy Nutkevitch has taken on the Brahmas persona of being quietly affective.
The first year player has been about as solid as any forward on the team but maybe isn’t always stuffing the stat sheet or earning a top star honor.
In 21 games, the Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec native has scored five goals with 12 assists ranking him third among all rookies in points.
Last year, the former SUNY-Potsdam star showed Brahmas coach Dan Wildfong what he could dressing in seven games at the end of the season and then in 12 post-season contests. Collectively, Nutkevitch scored three goals with eight assists.
The 24-year-old has done a lot of damage recently collecting four goals and five assists over his last eight games but his plus/minus may jump out more as he is a responsible player at both ends of the ice.
In 21 games, Nutkevitch has been a minus just three times and over his last eight games is a +9 and his +11 for the season leads the Brahmas team.
Fort Worth will have a chance to make up some more ground on the leaders with nine of their next 13 games on home ice.
