In 46 games played for the Thunder, the former UMass-Lowell Riverhawk has potted 23 goals and added 28 assists for 51 total points, which ranks second on the Thunder in scoring.
The Calgary, Alberta native is currently riding a 15-game ECHL scoring streak where he has accumulated 23 points (10g-13a) and has racked up 34 points (16g-18a) over his last 23 games played. Edwardh's 51 points on the season ranks second in the league for all rookie skaters.
