Marc-André Gragnani

Marc-André Gragnani (born March 11, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player currently playing for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL). 
==Playing career==
He played junior hockey in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) for P.E.I. Rocket and his minor hockey for the Dauphins de Deux-Rives. He was drafted in the third round, 87th overall, of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres and signed a professional contract with the Sabres in June 2007.
Although originally drafted as a defenceman, Gragnani shifted to the left wing position during his first professional season. He made his NHL debut on February 23, 2008 for the Sabres.
In April 2009, he established a new record for Portland defencemen with 51 points in the regular season. He also set the Portland franchise record for assists by a defenceman in a single season with 42. In 2011, he broke both of his own records, by registering 48 assists and 60 points, in a single season, as a defenceman.
Gragnani was called up to the parent Buffalo Sabres in March 2011. His first NHL goal was a game-winning overtime goal in a game against the Carolina Hurricanes on April 3, 2011.
