We have talked quite a bit early this season about the Blue Jackets and their strong play at 5 on 5. Just how good have they been? Good enough that RG.org have three CBJ skaters right at the top of their MVP list.
Yes, you read that correctly. It's an opinion piece, but it's one that caught our attention because they used an interesting metric.
The approach that Sergey Pryakhin takes in this case, only accounts for even strength play. And boy, does this team have a leg up on the competition in that department.
