This should be the box.

Aaron Ness picked up assists last night, giving him 36 assists and 44 points for the year. That appears to be the most assists for a Bridgeport defenseman in a season since Ray Giroux had 40 and Chris Armstrong had 38 in the inaugural season. Matt Donovan had 35 three years ago.
