Key Statistics: Flanagan appeared in just 32 of 42 games for the Saints but still finished third on the team in scoring with 28 points on five goals and 23 assists.

What He Does: At this point in his career, Flanagan is more of a playmaker than scorer as evidenced by his 23 assists. When he plays well, he’s moving his feet and is active at both ends of the ice. Backchecking and blocking shots are as big a part of his game as setting up teammates. He missed four games in the fall semester with a shoulder injury and a knee problem kept him out of six games in the second half of the year.
