Scott Zurevinski

Key Statistics: Zurevinski stepped in to Quinnipiac’s lineup as a freshman and contributed 11 goals and 18 points in his first collegiate campaign. He ranked fifth on the team in goals and seventh in points. Three of his goals came on the power play.

What He Does: At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, Zurevinski is one of the Bobcats’ biggest forwards and provided a physical presence in the lineup all year long. He missed only one game all year and was named as the team’s Rookie of the Year last year at the end-of-season team banquet.

The Bigger Picture: Zurevinski’s impact as a sophomore will be crucial to Quinnipiac’s success. The Bobcats lost their top two scorers to graduation in Bryan Leitch and David Marshall. Those two merely combined to put up 105 points last year and 296 over their college careers. The Bobcats were a .500 team last year at 18-18-3, but were just 4-9 in one-goal games and 3-5-3 in overtime. If Zurevinski can provide the big goal at the right moment, the Bobcats could challenge for a place in the top four of ECAC Hockey.
