Khusnutdinov posted a shorthanded assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

Khusnutdinov is off to a quiet start in his first full NHL campaign -- the helper was his first point in four games. He's filled a bottom-six role so far, though he saw a season-high 14:44 of ice time Tuesday's win. The 22-year-old center was limited to four points in 16 regular-season outings after coming over from the KHL last year, so it's safe to question how high his scoring ceiling is given the limited sample.
