Fluto Shinzawa: Looks like Connor Clifton could be back in... - The Athletic Looks like Connor Clifton could be back in. Matt Grzelcyk is staying out late on the ice.
Two helpers in Thursday's win Clifton recorded two assists in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
Impact He rounded out his night with two hits, two PIM and a plus-3 rating. Clifton has two multi-point performances in the last three games, a surprising surge from a blueliner who had only three points over his prior 17 contests, but playing for a team on pace to set an NHL record for regulation wins can have that effect. On the season, the 27-year-old has five goals and 21 points over 68 games with 187 hits, 101 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating.

Notches assist Sunday Clifton recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-3 defeat to Detroit.
Impact Clifton has been dishing out hits in his last five games, registering 18 hits while also garnering one goal, one assist and 11 blocked shots over that stretch. While the 27-year-old defenseman should continue to rack up defensive stats, he shouldn't be expected to offer high-end offensive upside.
