AHL/Taxi Squad
2021 Season in a Nutshell
Alex Biega’s job this season was essentially to keep seats on the Taxi Squad warm. Unlike some of the other regulars of the taxi squad, Biega did not play one game in Grand Rapids. His sole purpose on the roster was to exist in case of injury.
After Jon Merrill and Patrik Nemeth were shipped off at the trade deadline, a position finally opened up for Biega. However, instead of playing on a regular defensive pairing, he typically acted as the seventh defensemen when Detroit went with the 11 forwards and seven defensemen scheme. When he finally became a regular, his presence on the ice made almost no difference. Biega managed to nab three assists, but other than that, 2021 was rather forgettable for the veteran defenseman.
