What's a "black ace"?? I've seen it in several articles. Is it just a quote from him or is it actually a thing? :huh: I don't see him taking anyone's spot, currently. Sprong prolly gonna get replaced by Kuzy on Wednesday or Friday. Don't see Sheary losing a spot.. Prolly need to be an injury for him to get in on the minutes!

The Black Aces are the extra players added to a roster for a team's playoff run after their own season is over in the minor-leagues or elsewhere. The Black Aces practice with the team and are expected to be ready to step into the lineup if any of the regular players in the lineup are unable to play.

It appears to be his quote. He's been doing very well in the AHL the last two months, but that doesn't always translate to the NHL.
