The 2016-17 regular season was another step forward in the development of defenseman Sami Vatanen, who once again made his presence known on the Ducks blueline. His offensive instincts made him a constant threat on the attack and on the power play, and it showed in the form of a personal-best 38-point season.
The 25-year-old established career highs in points, assists (29) and appearances (71), and finished the regular season as the club’s leading defenseman in scoring, game-winning goals (2), assists, points per game (0.54) and power-play points (19; 4g/15a), and second in goals (9).
