Capitals: Nick Jensen… Unsung Hero? Or Deserving Scapegoat?
Nick Jensen has received a fair amount of criticism from both the fan base and the pundits during his time here in Washington. Does he deserve the reputation he has seemed to develop? Let’s take a look.
Nick Jensen seems to take a lot of heat from the Capitals fan base for his play, almost for his entirety of the time he has spent here, Whereas he does make some glaring plays at times, it is not exactly indicative of his overall play. I want to take a quick look at some numbers for this season and relate them both to his position in the defensive rotation for the Capitals, and his counterparts around the league.
All numbers are for 5 v 5 play.
