Zemgus Girgensons had a disappointing season with the Buffalo Sabres this year. There’s really no other way to put it.
A player who’s been projected as a physical, scoring center put up just 18 points in 71 games this season.
Just seven goals, eleven assists; Girgensons averaged 0.25 points per game.
He also averaged 15:02 per game, not really playing in a top-line role, but mostly finding himself outside of that spot and playing elsewhere, including in a third-line position.
He won 45.7 percent of the faceoffs he took this season, winning 153 of 335.
