Last Season: Fortescue was one of the most consistent defensemen on the Eagles’ backend last year, skating in 40 games and tallying four goals and four points for eight points throughout the season. He played top pairing minutes alongside Eamon Powell, and only got better as the season went on.
Season Outlook: It’s likely that Fortescue will continue to see top pairing minutes alongside Powell again this season to create one of the more experienced and consistent defensive pairings on the Eagles roster this year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him receive power play time as well, especially as the Eagles tinker around with special teams to start the year.
Fun Fact: Fortescue’s cousin plays for Quinnipiac.
