Rarely do Andrew Copp’s assignments gain him attention on the evening TV highlights, but his work receives almost no focus during team video sessions, either.
That’s huge for the third-year Winnipeg Jets forward.
Copp’s offensive numbers aren’t particularly flashy — he’s fired just four goals and added 16 assists while being among only seven skaters to play all 54 games this season for the Jets.
The requirements of his job — and the reality of his skill set — don’t include challenging Patrik Laine for the team goal-scoring lead or transforming into a crafty set-up man like Blake Wheeler.
