I was impressed with McIlrath last year.
One, I like tough defensemen.
But I thought he was reasonably good with the puck. Decent first pass. Could rim pucks around and take pucks on the rim around a lot better than Witkowski for instance.
He also had a nice little GA/60 of 1.3. (team average of 2.64)
This year, it's 1.41. (team average of 2.91)
And that's god damn awesome on this team.
His PK GA is great for this team. 4.57 last year. 5.19 this year. Last year we were at 8.36 and this year we are at 11.11.
Here's another stat.
This year, we are 3-1 with McIlrath in the lineup.
Last year we were 5-2 with him in the lineup.
Yeah, he's only playing 13 minutes a night or something. But it seems like he's been a positive influence.
