Just like many Carolina Hurricanes players last season, Jordan Martinook broke a career high in a few statistical categories. While an increase in depth scoring was great for the Canes, Martinook was impactful in many other ways for the team. He was a leader that many of the young players on the team had looked up to, and his energy was infectious. The team fed off of his energy and the fans’ energy that was sometimes fueled by Martinook himself.
Which statistics did Martinook break his career high in, you ask? The first is goals. Martinook never had more than 11 goals in a season until last year when he had 15 for the Hurricanes.
