It’s not the Sharks’ best season, facing troubles with their attack. A low 2.12 average goals per game underscores the issue of creating scoring chances. Mikael Granlund, Fabian Zetterlund, and William Eklund are striving to compensate, turning in 31 goals and 55 assists. Other than these three, the Sharks face a bumpier road offensively. Only two other active players have reached double-digit goals, making the team an easy peck for defensive game plans that stifle their weakened offense.
This year, the Wild team hasn’t had an easy run. However, their strong performances on the field aren’t going unnoticed. They’ve reached an average of 3.10 goals each match. Players like Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello and Joel Eriksson Ek have been stars on the frontline. A fantastic 65 goals and 102 assists. But don’t forget the rest of the Wild’s offensive line. Matt Boldy, Marco Rossi and Ryan Hartman have played great, too. They’ve secured 55 goals and 58 assists. It’s a strong support for the team. Brock Faber from the defense has also helped. With four goals and 30 assists he’s been key in making those extra scoring chances. Indeed, everyone on the team has been doing their bit to ensure success.
