Wild rookie Brock Faber finds new home on the power play

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:44:27 GMT

Brock Faber was a team captain, all-American and Big Ten Defenseman of the Year at the University of Minnesota. As a junior, he had four goals and 23 assists, four of the latter in four NCAA tournament games as he helped the Gophers make the 2022-23 national championship final.But in 97 career college games, there is one thing he never did: get a role on the Gophers’ power play.Asked about that during training camp, Faber said part of it was because college players are expected to play more minutes than NHL players, and he was playing the PK. But part of it, he said, was that early in his hockey career “I knew I wasn’t the kind of player who was going to fill up the stat sheet.”Faber, a rookie from Maple Grove, had his first power play point in Sunday afternoon’s 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at Xcel Energy Center. He first played on the unit in last Thursday’s 6-1 win at Nashville.“I always knew that I could, right? And I always hoped I would get onto the power play...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots were hoping for a spark courtesy of Bailey Zappe.Instead, the list of dreadful performances from New England’s quarterbacks added another tale of woe in miserable weather conditions on Sunday.The quarterback switch that’s been a topic de jour in recent weeks saw the Patriots produce more of the same with Zappe’s final stat line in a 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers resembling the numbers that led to coach Bill Belichick pivoting away from Mac Jones.In his first start of the season and third of his career, Zappe averaged 5.7 yards per pass attempt with his longest completion going for 27 yards.
