On Saturday, he elevated his game to register two goals and an assist in a 6-3 win.

For the season, Fischer has six points in seven games and has led the Bruins to second place in the Central Division.

“Chris does a great job of creating turnovers and then giving himself and his teammates chances,” said Bruins head coach Chris Tok. “He plays a complete game and has great hockey sense. He is not a flashy player, but he works hard and utilizes his teammates.”
