With the team off on their mid-season break, the staff here at Silver Seven Sens will be handing out first half grades for the players, coaching staff and management. First up are the forwards:
Stats: 42GP, 12G-16A-28PTS, 52.39 CF%, 49.77 xGF%
Colin: Brassard is quietly on pace for a 16 point increase on last season, much more in line with what was expected when the Sens first acquired him. He’s taken over as the #1 centre, even in spite of Duchene’s arrival, and his underlying numbers are excellent (+6.17 relCF% is tops among all forwards)
nkb: Brassard’s chemistry with Stone has been one of the few bright spots up front this season.
