Lohrei and the blue line will be asked to provide more offensive production this season, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports Wednesday.
Lohrei produced seven goals and 19 assists in 73 regular-season games last year, with five power-play points, but he ended the year mired in a 17-game goalless streak, including the playoffs. If the 25-year-old defenseman can offer more with the man advantage, he should be capable of getting back over the 30-point threshold or even push for 40.
