Osti is his nickname? That's hilarious as a french canadian.

Same in some Spanish speaking nations too. But it's hockey - they are the least imaginative nicknames around. Everyone is just adding an "ie" sound to a single syllable for the most part.
 
Care to explain? I do speak some french, but still don't get it.
It's a swear word. In Québec, most of the swear words come from religious words. This one comes from "hostie" which I think is sacramental bread in English. The most prevalent way to write this swear word would be "esti" but I'd say "osti" is a close second.
 
Really heating up. He's potted 7 goals and 5 assists in his past 7.

Started the season 1/0/1/+1 in 12 games including a month lost to injury.

Since then, he's 17/17/34/+19 in 31 games.

He's killing it on both sides of the puck, playing 1C for one of the better teams in the AHL and seems to have adjusted very well to the bigger players and smaller ice.
