Player, (Scoring chances) + (Assisted Chances) + Other good play (screen, takeaway etc.)
#27 LW Rasmussen (1+3G+3+1G) + (3+1A+1) + 3 (screens) = 16
#90 C Joe Veleno (1+1+2+1) + (1+1A+2+2) + 2 (block, penalty drawn) = 13
#11 RW Filip Zadina (2+2+2) + (1+2+1A+2) + 3 (takeaway + drawn penalty + good defensive play) = 17
--------------------------------------------------------------
#49 LW Axel Holmström (2+2+3+3) + (zero assisted) + 2 (screens) = 12 (all his chances came from PP on 1st unit)
#70 C Christopher Ehn (3) + (zero assisted) + 2 (one big hit and good play on PK) = 5
#48 RW Givani Smith (2+1) + (2) + 1 (screen) = 6
-------------------------------------------------------
#53 LW Jordan Topping (3) + (2) + 1 (takeaway) = 6
#67 C Brady Gilmour (3) + (1+2+3) + 1 (takeaway) = 10
#58 RW David Pope (3+2+3) + (zero assisted) + 0 = 8
------------------------------------------------------
#64 LW Zach Gallant, (1+1) + (3) + 1 (takeaway) = 6
#81 C Trevor Yates, (0) + (0) + 0 = ZERO (worst of the game)
#76 RW Nicholas Guay, (0) + (2) + 1 (screen) = 3
3 = High-Danger chance/assist
2 = Medium-Danger chance/assist
1 = Low-danger chance/assist
Conclusions:
- Top line doing well, not much help from others.
- Like Axel Holmström, zero chances or good plays on even strength, but was good on PP1 with the top guys.
- Yates, Guay, Topping, Ehn, quite useless guys.
- Never seen Gallant and Gilmour before, so far Gilmour was better.
- David Pope was getting chances from rebounds (not so impressive, anybody can do that), didn't use his shot at all from far distances. Would like to see that more.
Defence, Player, (Scoring chances) + (Assisted Chances) + Other good play (screen, takeaway etc.) + Zone exits (+plus - minus)
#21 LD Dennis Cholowski (1+1+2G) + (2+1+1A+3+2) + 1 (block) + (Exits +4 -0) = 18
#62 RD Trevor Hamilton (zero) + (zero) + 1 (block) + (exits +1 -2) = 0
------------------------------
#63 LD Jared McIsaac, (1) + (3) + 1 (def.takeaway) + (exits +2 -1) = 6
#29 RD Vili Saarijärvi, (2+1) + (zero) + 0 + (exits +5 -2) = 6
------------------------------
#73 RD Marcus Crawford, (zero) + (zero) + 0 + (exits +1 -3) = -2
#50 RD Reilly Webb, (zero) + (1A) + 1 (block) + (exits +1 -0) = 3
- Cholowski just dominates on every area. Already a "lidström-faith", when he has to carry a plug like Hamilton.
- McIsaac is really good passer, reliefs the pressure from D-zone usually with a great pass. But can't his shots through in O-zone, this reminds me of the Tyler Wright words "not a PP defenceman". Was almost mistake-free, but one bad pass lead to Dallas-goal.
- Saarijärvi is somehow problematic. Fantastic skater and makes zone-exits easy that way. But on the offensive zone, nothing kind of happens. Could benefit from better forward linemates, though.
- Crawford, righty on the left size, always on problems.
- Webb was ok. Away from troubles.
- Kaden Fulcher looks like our best goalie prospect. This has been my gut feeling from last season after good OHL season and this game get that feeling stronger.
- Best Dallas player was obviously Heiskanen. I didn't collect points for opposite team as individuals (only team total), but I think he was better than Cholowski. That Calderone guy was also good, but he is already 23-years old.
