Remember when I talked about Shea Theodore and Brayden McNabb being the NHL's best defensive pair? Remember when I also talked about Jack Eichel having one of the best offensive ratings in the league? Well, let's combine the two, shall we?
It seems that preventing goals isn't the only thing that the pair of Original Misfits are good at. It also has a significant impact on their defensive ratings. According to HockeyStatCards, the Vegas Golden Knights' defensemen are sitting atop the defensive ratings entering Friday's slate of games. That meant fending off a slew of New York Rangers from the top spot.
