Of the many great stories this season, two of the most important are the development of the first line, and the dominance of the first power play unit. The key figure in both of those is Alexander Wennberg. The young Swede has impressed me throughout his career, but now everyone else is starting to take notice. Is it possible we finally have the true #1 center we’ve been waiting for?
Here are his numbers for this season (prior to the Vancouver game) and how they project for an 82 game season at this pace:
| Games | Goals | Assists | Points | FO% | EV Corsi % | PP Points | Shooting % | ATOI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | Goals | Assists | Points | FO% | EV Corsi % | PP Points | Shooting % | ATOI |
| Games: 28 | Goals: 6 | Assists: 19 | Points: 25 | FO%: 45 | EV Corsi %: 51. |
