multi-point games with Norfolk. He had a three-game goal-scoring streak from Jan. 24
against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to Jan. 31 against Binghamton, which included a hat trick
at Binghamton on Jan. 30.
In 112 career NHL games over parts three seasons, Etem has recorded 15 goals, 16
assists and 31 points and has posted a plus-four rating. Etem registered his first NHL goal
on Mar. 18, 2013, in a 5-3 win over the San Jose Sharks. He scored his first career playoff
goal on May 4, 2013, against the Detroit Red Wings and has since registered a total of six
