Henrik Borgstrom‘s clinic-like stick handling highlights have forced YouTube to add capacity.

Troy Terry‘s World Junior Championship exploits didn’t break the Internet but they certainly slowed it down in early January and spawned a cult-like following in some corners of the hockey universe.

Captain Will Butcher is one of three finalists for the Hobey Baker Award.

Goaltender Tanner Jaillet is a finalist for the Mike Richter Award.

Even coach Jim Montgomery is a finalist for Spencer Penrose Award as the top Division I coach for the second season a row.

In the midst of one of the finest seasons in Denver’s illustrious college hockey history, a player who is scoring at a better than a point-per-game clip has gotten lost in the shuffle a bit.

We’re not ready to file a missing persons report yet on Dylan Gambrell, however, because we know he’ll show up when it counts Thursday against Notre Dame in the Frozen Four at Chicago. He’s made a habit of doing that for two seasons in the Mile High City.

While other Pioneers are drawing all sorts of attention, the sophomore center keeps doing what he’s consistently done – score, play defense and make those around him better.

“Gams has had another exceptional season,” said senior Evan Janssen, a sometime linemate of Gambrell’s this season. “He does everything the right way. He’s really mature when it comes to that.”

Gambrell, who grew in Washington state but refined his game with the high-powered Colorado Thunderbirds program, is matter of fact about his role with the Pioneers, which is to say playing in every situation.

“I just try to make whatever situation I’m in one I can help my team however I can,” said the 2016 second-round pick of the San Jose Sharks. “It doesn’t matter who you’re playing with as long as all four lines are producing. It doesn’t matter who gets the credit as long as we’re having success as a team.”

To say Gambrell’s line produced last season would be akin to calling Colorado weather unpredictable. He was the pivot on the Pacific Rim Line with Danton Heinen and Trevor Moore, each of whom turned pro after last season’s run to the Frozen Four in Tampa, Fla. The trio piled up 139 points (48 goals), including 47 and 17 by Gambrell.

“There hasn’t been as much attention because he hasn’t been on the high-powered scoring line like last year,” Janssen said. “He still put up great numbers.

“I don’t think much has changed.”

Indeed, Gambrell’s points-per-game pace from a season ago (1.15) has dipped only nominally (1.08) this season with 39 points through 36 games. He also had to battle through an upper-body injury that cost him four games though was expected to remove him from the lineup at least twice that long.

Gambrell has jump started whomever he’s played with this season. Janssen has obliterated his career numbers in his senior season. Freshman Liam Finlay has taken flight since teaming up with Gambrell. But the sophomore passes the credit as easily as he saucers the biscuit to waiting teammate.

“Finlay’s a great playmaker, really creative with the puck,” he said. “Janssen’s going to do the right thing in every situation so I read off him. We’ve played together a few years now so I kind of know the way he’s going to play.”

Gambrell’s versatility adds an element of the unexpected to the Pioneers’ lineup. Before DU’s NCAA Midwest Regional final against Penn State, Montgomery shifted him between Terry and Jarid Lukosevicius for stretches. Terry had five points and Lukosevicius scored twice. Gambrell was credited with one assist. According to Gambrell the numbers that really mattered were 6 and 3, which was the margin the Pioneers won by to advance to their second consecutive Frozen Four.

Janssen played the 2012-13 season with Gambrell, then a 16-year-old, and for Montgomery in Dubuque of the Junior A United States Hockey League. The Fighting Saints won the league’s Clark Cup that season. The hope in PioNation is history repeats itself.

If it does, you can bet Gambrell will somehow be in the middle of it.

“He’s always been a great player,” Janssen said. “He did everything then he does now.”
