Fink’s 52 points this season are a new Penn State single-season record and are tops in the Big Ten and are good for second nationally while his 1.41 points per game pace the nation. Fink’s 29 assists also rank atop the Big Ten and are tied for sixth nationally while his 23 goals are second in the conference and also tied for sixth in the nation. His assist total is the most in a single-season in Penn State history with his 23 goals tying for the top spot.
The sophomore also leads the team with a plus-18 rating on the season while his eight powerplay tallies and two shorthanded scores both rank in the top-10 nationally with his man-advantage total tying his own PSU single-season record set last year. Fink leads the team with 15 multi-point efforts on the campaign having only been kept off the scoresheet in eight of the 37 games this season.
The Calgary, Alberta native is just the third Nittany Lion all time to reach 40 points and 20 goals in the same season joining Casey Bailey (22-18-40 in 2014-15) and Alex Limoges (23-27-50 in 2018-19) while he is also the only Nittany Lion to begin his career with back-to-back 30+-point seasons and becomes just the seventh all-time to have multiple such seasons following his 34-point freshman campaign.
Fink’s 16 career powerplay tallies are already a Nittany Lion record and he is the only player to record multiple hat-tricks in a career following his three-goal outing against Canisius back in January. He has 86 points (38 goals and 48 assists) in 71 career games for a 1.21 point per game average which is also a current Penn State standard while he sits just outside the top-10 all-time for points and goals.
The sophomore tied a trio of single-game records for the Nittany Lions this season registering three assists and four points in the second period during a 5-0 victory over Alaska on October 6 and just two weeks ago collected four assists in a 6-5 overtime win at Michigan on March 7.
