He's got 11 points in 24 games -- that's not quite 41 over 82 (closer to 38). However over the last 6 he's on a 55-goal, 67-point pace.

Realistically he should top 20 points, which is not bad for a rookie in a 48-game season, on a team having trouble scoring. He is 4th in total scoring among rookie defensemen. Schultz has 4 more points and has played in 3 more games. If you look at Wiercioch's totals since Karlsson went down, he's got 7 points in 13 games, which is a 44 point pace. And, again, this is on a team that has, until the last couple of games, had a great difficulty in scoring.

He has 13 in 25 now.

MacLean joked with us that he'd have to go to confession if he told us what the coaching staff said to the players after the 1st period.

Sens last year.

The KAssassin played a whooping 3:25

And was a +1. Imagine if he played a regular shift

Edit: The box score has him at 0, but he was definitely on the ice for Big Rig's goal, and that was five-on-five.
