Nick Blankenburg News: Extends point streak to five games

Blankenburg collected two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

The 27-year-old defenseman continues to step up on a Nashville blue line that has been playing without Roman Josi (upper body) and Adam Wilsby (lower body). Blankenburg has gotten onto the scoresheet in five straight games, delivering two goals and six points during that hot streak. He's also been handling the point on the top power-play unit.
