Seth Griffith spent the first chunk of the year last year in his NHL debut with the Boston Bruins. He had a decent enough go of it, scoring goals in 5 of 30 games. Around January, he got sent back down to Providence (after David Pastrnak's 5th NHL game) and stayed there for the rest of the season. During his 30 games in Boston, he ended up as David Krejci's most common non- Milan Lucic 5v5 linemate of the year. This ended up being a good idea for the top line, as you can see in your heart on this graph:

Back in the AHL, Seth Griffith did quite well, coming in 4th in scoring on Providence despite playing fewer games than most of the team. In the playoffs, he excelled, scoring a point per game in Providence's unfortunately short-lived campaign. For a little while, it seemed like he could only score funny-looking goals, like this one:
