Gonchar scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Sudbury's 7-2 win over Flint on Friday.
Gonchar is up to 10 goals and 32 points, as well as a minus-14 rating, over 40 appearances this season. The defenseman's scoring potential for the rest of the season is up in the air, as Sudbury was a team that sold off players through trades in January, which may weaken the team's offense overall. Gonchar is still putting together a strong campaign on offense as he adjusts to North American hockey.

Gonchar is at 14 points in 23 appearances this season, but he's earned four goals and seven helpers over his last seven games. The Rangers prospect should continue to play at a high level as he gets more comfortable in the OHL. However, playing for a team that's largely struggled this year has led to a minus-15 rating, as Gonchar's defensive play is still a work in progress.
