He’s another young forward that brings a lot of energy.”Caggiula has seven goals and four assists in 29 games this season. He had a career-best 13 goals in 67 games last year.“He’s got that combination, he plays pretty intense — he’s a smaller guy, but you wouldn’t know it the way he plays,” Bowman said. “Obviously he was a prolific scorer in college, so he’s got the ability to contribute offensively, he’s versatile, plays wing, plays center, so when we had an opportunity to make the deal Brandon Manning Jersey Womens , I thought we had to take advantage of it.”The Blackhawks play the Boston Bruins in the Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium on Tuesday.
