Laughton logged a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
Laughton is a defensive forward, so it's no surprise to see him contributing on the penalty kill. The 30-year-old earned eight of his 39 points last season while shorthanded, compared to five power-play points. Laughton has tacked on four shots on goal and four hits over two games in 2024-25, and whenever head coach John Tortorella opts to shuffle his lines, Laughton's a good bet to move up from the fourth line.
