Oliver Ekman-Larsson is in no way shape or form having a career year, rather he is just flying under the radar on this team. His 22 points are by no means setting any records, and Corsi percentage of 47.6 is towards the bottom of his career. If the Coyotes are to succeed they are going to need their captain.
For the captain’s play so far this season I give a C grade. He has not been really good or bad, rather just someone you kind of don’t notice on the ice. I guess for a defenseman that is alright, but for someone once considered in the running of a Norris Trophy a few years ago, this is not really good.
