There were a number of Herd alum in the 3 leagues this season and they all did pretty good. Guys who have been in the NHL for more than two years had career seasons, I feel a bit like a broken record saying that but these guys just keep getting better. A few alumni will be looking to help their teams win the respective league trophies including Timo Meier, Nathan MacKinnon, Brad Marchand and Nikolaj Ehlers al trying to get to the Stanley Cup finals.
Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche saw himself in the top ten of league scoring once again, finishing 7th overall in the point race. The 23-year-old was so close to becoming the third Nova Scotian to record 100 points in 2018-19, falling just short in the last game of the year ending with 99 points. He had 41 goals and 58 assists in 82 games played. MacKinnon was highly praised during the first few months of the regular season as he and his teammates were seen by many fans and personalities alike as the best top line in the NHL. However, due to injuries they cooled off but will look to get the hot hand going again when they start the post-season on Thursday against the Calgary Flames.

Timo Meier of the San Jose Sharks also had a career season in 2018-19 almost doubling his points from last year. The 22-year-old recorded his 100th career point on March 11, an assist in a game against Minnesota. In 78 games the Herisau, SUI native played, Meier scored 30 goals while also collecting 36 helpers. Timo and the Sharks will take on the Vegas Golden Knights starting tonight.
Otto Somppi, Maxime Fortier and Connor Moynihan split the season between the AHL and ECHL in their first professional season. Somppi went back and forth between the Syracuse Crunch and Orlando Solar Bears. The 21-year-old recorded more than a point per game with Orlando as he scored 12 goals and had 12 assists in 21 games played while with the Crunch, Somppi was only able to muster three points in 24 games including his first AHL goal on December 12. Last that I saw reported is that Otto is with Syracuse currently. Fortier was also a point per game in the ECHL, picking up 12 goals and 25 points with the Jacksonville IceMen.
