Ask a casual hockey fan who Bowman is, maybe someone will say Scotty, few will say Braeden. Knights’ fans and die-hard fantasy certainly known his name. Bowman has more than ably stepped in for the injured Mark Stone, notching four goals his first six games in the NHL.
Bowman, an undrafted free agent signee, displayed his scoring chops at AHL Henderson. As noted above, he carried that forward to Vegas, Coach Bruce Cassidy has deployed Bowman on the top line and power play unit where his right-handed shot is a perfect replacement for Stone.
Coaches will start to game plan for Bowman, shading towards his shooting tendencies, so he will have to adjust. Bowman’s pace will slow but he still should be a nice add in most leagues.
